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 Queen`s Jubilee AvenuePrint Page 
The trees were 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 $5,000 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant an avenue of trees, 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.
Community-based tree planting across the Barcaldine region received a $10,250 boost this week with the announcement of two successful recipients under the Planting Trees for The Queen’s Jubilee program.
The Aramac State School will use their $5,250 grant to plant an avenue of 22 large shade trees for students, whilst the Barcaldine Aged Care Residential Village will plant an avenue of trees along Bauhinia Street, with their $5,000 grant.
Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said that in total, almost $100,000 will be shared across the Maranoa electorate to mark the Jubilee (70 years of service) of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
“During Her 70 years of service, The Queen has visited Australia on 16 occasions, often planting trees at community events and ceremonies as a long-lasting reminder of the special occasion for the people in those communities,” Mr Littleproud said.
“The Planting Trees for The Queen’s Jubilee program creates a tree planting legacy across the nation for Australians to enjoy and increases the area of tree canopy in our communities, in celebration of Her Majesty’s Jubilee.”
The Queen is said to have planted 1500 trees throughout Her reign.
Ten projects in the Maranoa electorate received funding to plant trees which will help to beautify townships, provide shade for locals and visitors, and improve liveability in the region, with grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000.
Hon David Littleproud, 9 June 2022.
