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 Jubilee Print 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.
Bendigo South East Secondary College received funding of $20,000 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant shade trees, install commemorative plaques and hold an event in honour of The Queen’s Jubilee. This will beautify the secondary school precinct and enhance shade for students.
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.
BSE has recently received a $20,000 grant through the Planting Trees for the Queens Jubilee Grants Program to plant a series of new native trees on school grounds. That's why we were delighted to welcome our local Federal MP Lisa Chesters this morning to unveil an official plaque and plant a tree.
We are also thankful that Lisa has kindly donated $250 to the college to purchase books for our library! Thank you Lisa Chesters MP and the Federal Government for your generosity!
