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.

RADAR
On 7 November 1941 the RAAF was given responsibility for all ground-based early warning radar operations.
This memorial is in commemoration of all the RAAF and WAAAF personnel who served in ground and airborne radar operations in the South-West Pacific Area during the Second World War.
They operated in the utmost secrecy and their contribution to victory was invaluable.
Lest We Forget
Dedicated 30 March 1999
