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.

Kuranda Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The honour roll commemorates past students from Kuranda School and others from the District who served in World War One. The names of the nine soldiers who died in service or were killed in action appear at the top of the list of names.
The Kuranda Honour Roll was unveiled on the 11th October 1919 by Mr Ernest Hunter. Of the 48 men who enlisted, 9 made the supreme sacrifice. Mr Hunter also distributed Peace Medals to the children at the unveiling ceremony. The railway station was chosen as a permanent site for the honour roll
