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.

In 2002, local resident Ella Robinson petitioned the former Bendemere Shire Council to have Jackson State School's play shed, built in 1908, relocated from the former school site (which had laid dormant since the School's closure in 1983) to the centre of town at the old railway station site to serve as a Intercity Bus Stop (ICBS) for passengers travelling on Greyhound Australia`s long-distance coach services. In 2012, numerous information panels were installed in the old play shed illustrating the town's history and paying tribute to the pioneers who helped establish the rural community.
