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 street lamp was erected in memory of Elijah Budden for his services to the Merriwa community. Elijah Budden died in 1912.
The Budden Memorial Committee have just had a lamp erected at the corner of Bettington-street. It is a fine lamp, and stands on a stone and concrete base, with a marble tablet inset, bearing the inscription : "Erected to the memory of Elijah Budden by the citizens of Merriwa and district. 1913." The erection was entrusted to Mr. Armitage, of Muswellbrook, who is to be complimented on his work.
Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative (NSW),
