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.

Jubilee of the Federation of AustraliaPrint Page 
The cairn and flagpole at the Pentland State School commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Federation of Australia.
The Commonwealth Jubilee Celebrations of Federation in 1951 were initiated by the Commonwealth Government in cooperation with the various State governments.
The Queensland Government's contribution to the celebration was the Jubilee Art train which toured Queensland centre. The train carried 50 paintings from the Queensland Art Gallery and a model children's library. The train visited Pentland in July 1951.
