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 gates at the church commemorate Ernest Whitfield, a former police magistrate and coroner in the colony of Tasmania who died in 1923.
Ernest Whitfield was also a well-known historian and was meticulous in his research into the early settlement of Tasmania from 1803, and painstakingly recorded both verbal and written recollections from residents. These were the basis of a series of lectures he gave in 1897.
