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.
Sir Edgeworth DavidPrint Page 
The park commemorates Sir Edgeworth David, the discoverer of the Greta Coal seam.
Sir Edgeworth David at the age of 50 partnered Douglas Mawson and Scottish surgeon Alistair Mackay on an epic 2028 kilometre Antarctic traverse to the magnetic south pole in 1909. In Abermain he is remembered as the Sydney University geologist who in 1897 uncovered the rich Greta coal seam on which the town and its miners depended for so many years.
