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.

ROBINS LANE
This lane was named in honour of the late R.S.E. (Bob) Robins B.E.M. (1902 - 1991) and his wife, Aileen (nee Parish) whose substantial voluntary care of Koalas at Cleland Wildlife Park, between 1967 - 1991, was of international note.
The Robins family home and Flour Mill played a prominent role
in the Marrabel District. The mill, which was operated by John H. and
Ellen M. Robins from the early 1880`s followed by twin sons,
Harry and Bob, closed in 1946. It was demolished in 1974.
The Mill House was the home of the Robins` children ; Elizabeth, Bill,
Sam, Doris, Kathleen, Harry, Bob and Madge.
This plaque was provided by
The National Parks Foundation of S.A.`s "Bob Robins Koala fund",
the National Parks Heritage Committee ;
and the Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council.
