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.
Ellen LeahyPrint Page 
The plaque on the Patrick Leahy obelisk commemorates Ellen Leahy, wife of Patrick Leahy, for her public and charitable work.
Apart from her many business activities, Ellen was better known for the tireless efforts she devoted to charities, in particular the Mosman Red Cross and the Mater Hospital at North Sydney. When she began work for the latter cause the hospital consisted of a tiny cottage in a large garden. She was awarded an MBE for her efforts and continued this charity work until 1940 when she died at the grand old age of 77 years.
