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.

BRAIDWOOD CELEBRATION. In its celebration of the King's Jubilee on Monday Braidwood was right in line with London and the whole of the British Empire, the programme consisting of thanksgiving service, tree-planting and bonfire. Tree-planting on Dr. Wilson's Hill filled in the afternoon's part of the of the proceedings. Many friends contributed to the work of the day. The Mayor, Ald. J. Roberts, explained the object ot the gathering. He said they had met there to commemorate the King's Jubilee by planting a few trees to mark the last resting place of an old and esteemed pioneer. He understood it was intended to celebrate the jubilee at a future date by planting an avenue of trees from the showground to the town.
