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.

Dr Sun Yat SenPrint Page 
The statue commemorates Doctor Sun Yat Sen, the founder of nationalist China who played a significant role in the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty in the early 20th century.
Sun Yat-sen (12 November 1866 – 12 March 1925) was a Chinese revolutionary and first president and founding father of the Republic of China ("Nationalist China"). He became the first provisional president when the Republic of China was formed in 1912, and later co-founded the Kuo Min Tang (KMT) political party serving as its first leader.
