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 the sailing achievements of John Bennetto. The plaque was unveiled in front of the Castray Esplanade finish box in 2008.
Bennetto raced in 44 Sydney to Hobart yacht races. It is a race record and many believe it is unprecedented in world ocean racing. In December 2005, as he prepared to compete in his 45th and the 61st Sydney to Hobart, he passed away at the age of 79.
