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.

Ellis Andrew StonesPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the life and work of landscape designer, Ellis Andrew Stones (1895 - 1975) who was Australia`s first popular landscape architect,and the father of an Australian landscape style.
Inspired by the bush, he sought to bring nature to the cities. His subtle style is now pervasive and his pioneering interest in conservation of natural heritage widespread. "One of Australia`s most distinguished landscape architects" (Turner, 1975), Stones was highly creative yet gentle and unassuming.
He worked on many gardens including : "Warrawee" Toorak, "Hillsborough" Balwyn, "Silver Birches" Balwyn, the "Marshall" garden Heidelberg, "Kildrummie", Holbrook - designing and working in stone and rock.
