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.

This cairn is constructed from stone which formed part of the chimney in the house situated off Station Street near Shannon Street owned by Arundel Wright who first settled in Box Hill in 1840.
The stone was presented to the Council by Mrs M.J. Luke In 1957.
