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 Memorial Walk was formed by the work of the Mount Stuart Guides in 1976 and commemorates local Guide leader, Fiona Allan (1952 - 1978), who died in Nepal in December 1978. She was 26 years old, and at the time of her death was employed as a psychology tutor at the University of Tasmania
When Fiona Allan died, a single file walking track was built so that walkers could enjoy the birds, in her memory. The Guides put in about thirty railway sleepers to prevent erosion and planted the native trees and shrubs donated to the project. Another Guide project was to put ninety-seven railway sleepers into the western face to improve access for firemen and children.
In 2000, the Hobart City Council gravelled and widened the track.
