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.

Queensland Ambulance Service
Following the establishment of the Queensland Ambulance Service in Brisbane in 1892, approval was granted by this governing body for the commencement of ambulance service operations in Cairns on 8th January 1901.
The memorial is to honour those paramedics and staff who have provided continuous pre-hospital care and transport since that time to the communities of Far North Queensland
