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 Jamieson`s Shaft Sculpture - 1979
This sculpture commemorates the continuing involvement of the people of Broken Hill in mining operations.
The design of the sculpture is derived from the `Wind Sail` shaft ventilator used in 1883 when mining first commenced here.
