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.

A statue commemorates local Australian Rules Football personality, Doug Hawkins.
The super-skilled wingman ranks only behind Ted Whitten and Charlie Sutton in the hearts of Bulldog supporters, and was one of the finest players of the 1980s. Hawkins grew up in public housing in Braybrook, which was where the ex-Western Bulldog began playing club football.
