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.
C. R. WippellPrint Page 
The monument commemorates C. R. Wippell who donated land to be used for the sports field.
A movement has been started locally to erect a suitable memorial in honour of the late Mr. C. R. Wippell in Rowden Park St. George. It is known that Mr. Wippell donated this ground to the St. George Sports Association as a centre for Sport in this town. As it is the intention of the Association to construct a grandstand in the near future, it was thought the time was opportune to erect some sort of memorial to Mr. Wippell and already £20 have been received in donations to this fund.
Balonne Beacon (St George, QLD), 24 June 1937.
