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.

Uncle Jim ClarkePrint Page 
The plaque commemorates Uncle Jim Clarke, a traditional Worimi elder who died in 2014.
Students from both Gloucester Public and Gloucester High schools were among the many who gathered to farewell local Aboriginal elder Uncle Jimmy Clarke last Thursday. The proud Worimi elder passed away late last month after a battle with illness.
Uncle Jimmy worked closely with both schools and was responsible for organising annual NAIDOC festivities in Gloucester. Students from Gloucester Public joined with members of the local RSL sub-branch in forming a guard of honour at the funeral service.
Gloucester Advocate (NSW) 9 September 2014.
