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.

Peace Loan Print Page 
The plaque commemorates the over-subscription to the Peace Loan in 1919.
During World War One, to finance the war the Commonwealth had a series of war loans, and then peace loans. To recover the cost of the war and fund soldier pensions the government launched 'Peace Loan' campaigns after the war. Peace loans were similar to the war loans where people loaned money to the government and received interest.
At a meeting of the Apoinga Council on October 16, the Chairman produced the Peace Loan Tablet awarded to the District Council of Apoinga for subscribing double the quota allotted to the District, when it was resolved that the said Tablet be hung in the Council Chamber.
Kapunda Herald (SA), 5 November 1920.
