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.

Jubilee of the Incorporation of the Municipality of RandwickPrint Page 
The fountain erected on the 22nd February 1909 commemorates the jubilee of the incorporation of the Municipality of Randwick.
The jubilee of the municipality, which eventuated on February 22, 1909, was celebrated by a sports meeting for the school children and others, a public banquet in the Town Hall, and the erection of a drinking fountain at the junction of Alison and Avoca streets, at a cost of £50. Randwick embraced an area of 8064 acres, and had 290 streets, of a total length of 113½ miles.
