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.

Queen Elizabeth II Platinum JubileePrint Page 
The tree was planted, and a commemorative plaque unveiled, in honour of Queen Elizabeth II to commemorate her Platinum Jubilee and acknowledge her 70 years of service as Australia`s Head of State.
The project received funding of $5,500 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant a mature tree, install a commemorative plaque and hold an event in honour of The Queen’s Jubilee. This will beautify the local environment and enhance the tree canopy.
Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime, and was head of state of 15 realms at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history.
COMMEMORATIVE TREE PLANTING CEREMONY. Over one-thousand students, staff and special guest Ted O`Brien MP - Federal Member for Fairfax celebrated the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II and our new King Charles III.

College tree planting honours the Queen’s enduring grace
Farewell Your Majesty
Ted O`Brien MP - Federal Member for Fairfax said the event provided a meaningful outlet for the school community to mourn the loss of an extraordinary Monarch. “The Queen led a remarkable life; a selfless life of service to her country and to her Commonwealth,” Mr O’Brien said. She will be remembered for her enduring strength, kindness and grace. “I am delighted to have supported today’s ceremony, which so aptly honoured Her Majesty’s 70 years of duty. She will be honoured until the end of days.”
Suncoast Christian College Principal Greg Mattiske, said the school had originally planned to host the special outdoor ceremony to mark the Platinum Jubilee milestone of Queen Elizabeth II, but adapted proceedings to provide the school community an opportunity to pay their respects. “The date for the Ceremony has been set for some time but it was all the more poignant due to Queen Elizabeth II’s sudden death last Friday,” Mr Mattiske said. “With her passing, we will pay tribute to her historic reign and devotion to duty, family, faith and service.”
The ceremony included the laying of floral wreaths in memory of the late Queen and recognition of our new monarch, King Charles III. Suncoast Christian College Director of Studies Mrs Lyndall Waters, said the event was of great significance.
