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.

Accession of King Edward VIIIPrint Page 

The avenues of cypress trees at both entrances of the town were planted to commemorate the accession of King Edward VIII to the Throne.
Edward VIII (23 June 1894 - 28 May 1972) was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth, and Emperor of India, from 20 January 1901 to 11 December 1936. Edward was one of the shortest-reigning monarchs in British and Commonwealth history. He was never crowned as he abdicated in 1936 to marry Mrs Wallis Simpson. After his abdication he was given the title of Duke of Windsor.
