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.
James WarnerPrint Page 
A monument commemorates pioneer surveyor, James Warner.
Warner surveyed towns and rural selections near Brisbane. In 1846 he was sent to trace the River Boyne from its source and to mark latitude 26 degrees, the southern boundary of the short-lived colony of North Australia, centred on Port Curtis. In January 1861 Warner produced, for sale, a large coloured map of Brisbane, which he exhibited at the Town Hall. It ran to a second edition in 1871. Upon the formation of the Queensland Institute of Surveyors in 1875, he was its first secretary and treasurer.
