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.

Jeremiah RolfePrint Page 
Plaque commemorates Jeremiah Rolfe, the first European settler in the district.
In 1854, Jeremiah Rolfe arrived from Victoria, establishing a station on Mistake Creek, west of Clermont. He is honoured as the first European settler in the district. When he discovered that his station "Pioneer" was not on the Belyando River, as he had first presumed, but on a tributary, he named the tributary, Mistake Creek.
