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.
Garry BrabhamPrint Page 
The cricket weekend 7 -aside was the brainchild of Premer Public School principal Garry Brabham in the late 1980s. Mr Brabham got the ball rolling with publican Iris Sing, Reg Gardner and Stuart McCleod. The grounds were cleared and pitches were laid to pave way for countless runs and fun times.
Many celebrities including Doug Walters, Merv Hughes, Len Pascoe and jockey Malcolm Johnston all created memories as well as coaching the cricketers of the future in the school grounds.
The cricket weekend was cancelled indefinitely by the Premer Lions Club in 2015 (its 25th year of operation) due to the behaviour of some players and spectators.

Dedication
Dedicated To
GARRY BRABHAM
From all those who knew Garry
A Mountain of a MAN, with a vision never to be forgotten
A declaration of Garry`s innings, far too early.
Premer Cricket Weekend was Garry`s vision.
A memory of grandeur that is present and will always remain when cricket is played at Premer.
Your sad passing is this community`s loss.
Now cricket is played in heaven.
