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.

Band rotunda in Elliott Gardens commemorates local resident, Benjamin Green.
Benjamin Green was a solicitor in Charlton and a former champion lawn tennis player of Australia. At the time of his death in 1923 he was President of the Charlton Golf Club.
CHARLTON, Sunday.— A Back to Charlton carnival opened in fine weather on Saturday, when 450 visitors came by special train and were greeted by cheering crowds at the station. The visitors were taken by a fleet of motor cars to the homes of relatives and friends. They renewed friendships of many years' standing, and revisited the scenes of their youth. Many came by car, and today 2000 people assembled at the Memorial Park, where a tablet was unveiled by Mr. F. Tate, Director, of Education, to the memory of the late Benjamin Green, a prominent Charlton citizen, who died three years ago. Among the speakers were Senator Elliott, Colonel Bateman, Dr. Crowan; and Mr. Alex Robertson, all personal friends of Mr. Green.
Age (Melbourne), 18 October 1926.
