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.

BennelongPrint Page 
The sculptured bust commemorates the Aboriginal man, Woollarawarre Bennelong (c. 1764 – 1813), who with his wife Barangaroo, were leaders of the Eora people, and mediators between their people and the British in the late 18th and early 19th century. Bennelong was a mediator both in the colony of New South Wales and in the United Kingdom.
