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.

King TogeePrint Page 
The headstone on the grave commemorates King Togee.
Togee was a big and powerful man, regarded as a great leader who lived with the Gamilaraay people at Butheroe during the 19th century. In his old age he was speared by a Gamilaraay warrior, Cuttabush, around the 1850s. He was taken to a shed on the Butheroe property, where he died. As a mark of respect the Nevell family, for whom he was working at the time, employed George Weatherley Junior to carve a headstone.
Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative (NSW),
22 April 1948.
