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.

The Dakota propellor commemorates the 75th Anniversary of the formation of the Royal Australian Air Force in March 1921.
The Air Force was separated from the Army on 31 March 1921 and was formed as an independent service; in May that year King George V gave his assent for the service to use the prefix "Royal" and this came into effect on 13 August 1921.
