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 plaque commemorates Jacob Hillard (1876-1934) who donated the land for the school in 1914.
Mr Hillard, who had four school age children at the time, gave one acre of land and the local community pooled their resources to move a building from Brookstead School near Commissioners Waters to the site. The Bakers Creek School opened in March 1915 and operated until 1964. The plaque was unveiled by the Mayor Brian Chetwynd.
