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.

Dedication
In memory of Alan Oliver
(1930 - 2009)
A proud seaman who was a pilot, a soldier, an author, a historian but most of all a seafarer, an internationalist and a humanitarian.
Alan was a driving force in developing this memorial to seafarers that commemorates their contribution to the development and defence of Australia in peace and war.
He was a passionate advocate of Australia's recognition of International Maritime Day.
