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.
Barry VicaryPrint Page 
The late Barry Vicary founded the National Servicemen's Association of Australia in Toowoomba, on the 28th November 1987.
A National Serviceman in 1965, Barry sought a better deal for those who served in support units in Australia, Malaysia and Papua-New Guinea and a medal recognising National Service. The Association was later expanded to include the 1951-1959 scheme. That first meeting was in the Toowoomba RSL and later in Queens Park where a lunch was served. Present were Barry Vicary, the late Dennis Connon , Ken Coates, Keith Junnich and Dan Cuddihy .
The Association they founded now is Australia-wide and the second largest ex-service organisation after the RSL.
