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.

We only use the Paypal “Donate” button on this webpage to accept donations.
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.

Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria Print Page 
The band rotunda was erected in 1888 to commemorate the jubilee of Queen Victoria`s reign.
In 1901, the rotunda was lifted 8 feet off the ground, to allow the construction of a brick base designed by G. Garson, Shire Engineer in 1900-1901, to accommodate additional fire brigade equipment.
The Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria was celebrated on 20 June 1887 on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of her accession on 20 June 1837. It was celebrated with a banquet to which 50 European kings and princes were invited.
