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 commemorates Frank C. Richardson (1897 - 1948) for his services to the development of sport and the improvement of Unley Oval.
Frank ("Dick") Richardson, one of the "fathers" of the Unley Oval, and a pioneer of sport in the Unley district died yesterday. Mr. Richardson, an uncle of V. Y. Richardson, former international cricketer and interstate footballer, was, with his brothers, one of the founders and builders of Unley Oval. He was a life member of the Sturt cricket and football clubs. For a long time he was coach and champion of the Sturt Bowls Club and ground manager of the Unley Oval.
