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.

Francis Charles ViretPrint Page 
The monument commemorates Francis Charles Viret.
Viret was a signatory to a successful petition in 1860 to Governor Denison to declare the village of Hunters Hill a municipality. He died in 1878 at the age of 78 and was interred at St Anne's Churchyard Ryde. The site of his grave was lost during the widening of Victoria Road in 1960 . A portion of his headstone was found by the Hunters Hill Historical Society and restored and a plaque erected in 1976 to his memory and the street was named after him.
