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 Golden Plateau Mine
This plaque was erected by the citizens of Cracow and the Cracow Mining Venture to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Cracow Goldfields.
This Kelly and Lewis VC75 twin cylinder vertical compressor was installed at the Golden Plateau Mine in May 1942, and delivered 500 cubic feet per minute compressed air to the undergound workings.
Kindly donated by Mr. A. A. Eakin.
