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 plaque commemorates Australia Day and 104 years of continuous local government in Rosenthal Shire.
The Shire of Rosenthal was a local government area south and west of the regional centre of Warwick in the Darling Downs region of Queensland. The shire, administered from Rosenthal Heights, a Warwick suburb, covered an area of 1,984.1 square kilometres (766.1 sq mi), and existed as a local government entity from 1886 until 1994, when it was dissolved and amalgamated with City of Warwick, Shire of Allora and Shire of Glengallon to form the Shire of Warwick.
The Inglewood Division was created on 11 November 1879 as one of 74 divisions around Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 1378. Following a petition by residents, the Rosenthal Division was created on 18 April 1889 under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 from Subdivision No. 1 of Inglewood Division.
