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 plaque on the grave, commemorates cyclist Roy Lindus, who died in a workplace accident in 1937.
Cyclists throughout Australia will mourn the loss of an old comrade in the person of Roy Lindus, of Newcastle, N.S.W. Roy met his death at his work in the Steel Works at Newcastle on Saturday last. Probably one of the most travelled pedallers in the sport, Roy could hold his own in any company and in any style of event. Formerly a member of the Northern Districts Amateur Union, Lindus transferred his affections to the professional side of racing and enjoyed much success.
In 1934 he was track champion of the State over three-quarters of a mile, and in 1929 gained second place in a "Goulburn" from a middle mark. A great chap and sportsman, his absence will be sorely felt. A large gathering was present at the graveside on Monday afternoon, including representatives of the League of N.S.W. Wheelmen and the Newcastle District League.
Referee (Sydney), 27 May 1937.
