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 the "River Man", Garry Zwarecz. The plaque, depicting a man beside a campfire with a dog under a tree was organised by long-term residents Wally Barrett, Merv Cox and Irene Stokes after a donation from the Lions Club and contributions from people attending the Pinjarra Festival.
Garry , who moved around mainly at night, was well known in the local community having lived there for over 30 years. Garry was known by the name of Anderson after abandoning Zwarecz, frustrated at being last in alphabetical order at school. He died in 2010.
