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.

The park commemorates Eleanor Shipley.
Eleanor Brisbane Shipley was the wife of George William Shipley who came into possession of the land in Moffat Beach (which now constitutes Eleanor Shipley Park, Moffat Beach), from Francis Moffat in October 1923. On 28 October 1929, Mrs Shipley, by then a widow, transferred the land to the Landsborough Shire Council in Trust “for the public pleasure, recreational use and sport". The land is never to be sold. (It is unclear as to if the land was a donation or if the Council paid for it, but rumour has it both ways).
