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.
Decima NormanPrint Page 

The plaque commemorates Decima Norman (1909-1983), a Western Australian athlete who was the star of the 1938 Empire Games held at the Sydney Cricket Ground. She won gold medals in the 100 yards, 220 yards, long jump, two relays and in winning the 100 yards she beat the world record holder.
She might well have won Olympic Gold in 1940 if those Games had not been cancelled due to World War Two.
