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.

The cairn commemorates Captain John Hepburn who drove sheep overland from Sydney in 1838 and settled in the area.
The memorial is a cairn erected by J. H. Stout, Clarke Sewell and Arthur Toose who transported the stone to the top of the mountain with one of the first crawler tractors in Victoria.
Note: This cairn is on private property.
