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 monument commemorates off road motor cycle racer, Andy Caldecott.
Andy Caldecott (10 August 1964 – 9 January 2006) was an off road motorcycle racer born in Keith, South Australia. He won the Australian Safari Rally four times consecutively (2000–2003) and was a competitor in the Dakar Rally in 2004 (DNF), 2005 (6th), and 2006.
During the 2006 Dakar Rally he won the third stage, but later died from a neck injury when crashing during the ninth stage, 250 kilometres into the 599 kilometre special stage from Nouakchott to Kiffa. Prior to his death he operated a motorcycle shop in Keith.
