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.
Isabel Robinson-GrayPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates Isabel Robinson-Gray who was also known as the "Eulo Queen".
In 1889, she acquired the title for the Royal Mail Hotel, and later acquired the Empire Hotel, the Gladstone Hotel, and managed the general store and butcher shop. She also worked as a courtesan, and at one time had the finest collection of opals in the world.
She married when she was 53 to Herbert Gray who was 29 years old. Herbert Gray died in World War One, and during the depression Isabel lost most of her wealth, and in 1926 was living in poverty. She died in August 1929 and is buried in an unmarked grave at the Toowoomba Cemetery.
