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.

This historic bollard was presented by the City of Westminister, London, England to the Shire of Mornington to mark its centenary on 31 May 1993.
The bollard originally stood at the head of the steps to the River Thames opposite the Millbank Prison from where until 1867, prisoners sentenced to transportation embarked on their journey to Australia.
His Excellency the Honourable Richard E. McGarvie Governor of Victoria unveiled this historic bollard on 8th October 1993 to commemorate its relocation from the City of Westminster to the Shire of Mornington.
