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.

Shire of Lexton Councillors & EmployeesPrint Page 
A shelter commemorates former Shire of Lexton councillors and employees.
The Shire of Lexton was a local government area about 150 kilometres northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria. The Shire covered an area of 821.03 square kilometres and existed from 1860 until 1994.
On 23 September 1994, the Shire of Lexton was abolished, and, along with the Shire of Ripon, and parts of the Shire of Avoca, was merged into the newly created Shire of Pyrenees.
