Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

106th Anniversary of Royal Australian NavyPrint Page 
Stained glass windows commemorate the 106th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Australian Navy.
Until Federation, five of the six Australian colonies operated their own colonial naval force, which formed on 1 March 1901 the Commonwealth Naval Force which received Royal patronage in July 1911 and was from that time referred to as Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
