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.
30-November-2020 : We are aware that some organisations, individuals or companies may have received an email requesting donations to assist Monument Australia. These emails are not authorised by Monument Australia and we do not know the person who sent them. You should not make any payments to any bank account details in the email. We only use the Paypal “Donate” button on this webpage to accept donations.
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.

Dedication
Erected by friends in memory of Samuel Wilson M.D. who died 24th June 1897
Aged 39.
A beloved physician and friend to his people
Dr. Samuel Wilson
Dr. Samuel Wilson died aged 39 years from heart disease.
Samuel was found dead by his groom a short distance from his home in Bass. His horse had come home without him while he was out attending a patient at Powlett River.
Dr. Wilson must have been much loved by the community for them to contribute so generously to the cost of his headstone.
