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.
Helen McKayPrint Page 
In 1953, gates and a fence at the entrance of Eureka Hall were erected to commemorate Helen McKay, a life member of the Eureka Stockade Progress Association who spent 40 years raising funds to beautify the park. The gates now consist of two large pillars with a top resembling an arch.
The plaque on one of the pillars was not unveiled until May 3rd 1998 during a McKay - Reddie family reunion organised by Di Christensen.
