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.

Goolwa Centenary HallPrint Page 
The hall was erected in 1930 to commemorate the centenary of Captain Charles Sturt’s voyage of exploration down the Murray River.
Percy Wells who became Mayor of the Corporation of Goolwa and Port Elliot in 1929 and 1930 became frustrated with Council for not building a proper cinema that in 1930 he built and paid for the Centenary Hall, to screen films and to commemorate Captain Charles Sturt’s voyage.
