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.

Wickham LocomotivePrint Page 

The locomotive commemorates the iron ore haulage on the Robe railroad system.
The locomotive was purchased by Cliffs Robe River Iron Associates in the 1970s and reconditioned and used in the construction of the Robe railway between Pannawonica and Cape Lambert and continuous yard duties until its retirement in 1980. The Roebourne Lions Club asked for permission to display the locomotive in Wickham as a tribute to the iron ore haulage on the Robe Railway system. An information plaque is located nearby.
