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.

Peace And Prosperity Tree Print Page 
The Peace and Prosperity Tree was planted in the Chinese Tribute Garden to commemorate the signing of a sister city relationship between the city of Lanzhou in China, and the Shire of Young in 1997. A marble pillar with Mandarin inscription was added to the garden in 2000 to further commemorate the relationship.
Sister cities are cooperative agreements between towns and cities, and politically distinct areas to promote cultural and commercial ties.
