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 the Sydney - Goulburn RailwayPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the Centenary of the opening of the Sydney - Goulburn Railway. The tree which was originally planted at the site of the plaque was removed. A new tree was planted at the site of the plaque sometime after June 2014.
The celebrations to mark the centenary of the coming of the railway to Goulburn will cover a five-day period, from May 23 to 27. The Railway Centenary Committee has issued a basic programme for the celebrations. On the Friday, May 23, the Way and Works Branch workshops and the South Goulburn locomotive depot will be open for inspection and the railway exhibit in the Lilac Time Hall will be opened. A senior aide of the NSW Governor, Sir Roden Cutler, will visit Goulburn this week to prepare for a the vice-regal visit later this month.
