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.

McLean Place commemorates brothers Gordon and Lex McLean, local graziers who were known for their philanthropy in the town of Blackall. Portrait busts of the two brothers stand at the entrance to McLean Place.
Money from selling their properties was used to set up the bursary in their name at the Blackall State School with the aim of helping students reach their dream of going to university. Lex and Gordon McLean made many anonymous donations to the retirement village and to the ambulance committee as well other organisations.
