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 man behind Kerr Park, Emu Park
This is Charles Kerr, born in Rockhampton in 1890. His niece, Joyce Hermann recalls him as a well dressed civic minded businessman who financially supported many organisations in Rockhampton and Emu Park. Joyce, her older sister Yvonne and their mother spent school holidays visiting Uncle Charlie in Pattison Street where he planted palm trees along the roadside.
