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.

JACK CARLIN

A Friend To All.
Jack & his wife Evelyn came to this area in the 1920s. They freely gave their time to many community organisations. Jack served on the Coolangatta Council, Tweed Heads Urban Committee, Point Danger Progress Association & became a life member of Tweed Heads and Coolangatta Surf Club. He is fondly remembered for teaching many local children and adults to swim.
