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.

Stephens Shire Memorial GatesPrint Page 
The gates were erected by the women of Stephens Shire to commemorate the men from the Shire who fought in World War One.
The Stephens Shire Gates on Ipswich Road were unveiled by Major S.H. Bruche on the 8th October 1921 in a preliminary ceremony prior to the unveiling of the Fallen Soldiers Memorial in Yeronga Park. Speeches were made by the Chairman, Councillor F. A. Stimpson and Mr. D. F. Denham who paid tribute to the work of the women of the shire in the task of raising funds for the memorial .
