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.

Edward Bayliss & John Wilkinson Print Page 

The cairn commemorates explorer Edward William Bayliss and settler John Rhodes Wilkinson.
East Gippsland explorer, Edward Bayliss, began the Buchan station in the late 1830s. The area was first settled around 1840 but no detailed survey or exploration was carried out until 1899 or 1900.
