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.

Centenary of Port Julia JettyPrint Page 
CURRAMULKA, May 7.— In the presence of about 300 residents and many others the ceremony of opening the new Port Julia Jetty was performed today, when Mr. John Kerr declared the structure ready for traffic. The Chairman of the District Council, (Mr. J. McKenzie) eulogized on the late Mr. William McDonaid, to whom, he explained, the credit was due of making the initial movement towards the construction of the new jetty, which was a credit to the district. During the seven years the council had control of the old one, which was put up in the early days of peninsula farming, more than £1,000 had been collected in tolls.
Register (Adelaide), 10 May 1913.
