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.

Ships Pilot`s MonumentPrint Page 
The monument commemorates the pilots who guided ships across a series of dangerous and dramatic sand bars which lie just off the coast where the river meets the sea.
During the nineteenth century a number of vessels attempting to enter the Manning River were wrecked on the bar. In the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century the boats entering the Manning River were brought across the bars by pilots familiar with the dangers and the shallow shoals.
