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.
30-November-2020 : We are aware that some organisations, individuals or companies may have received an email requesting donations to assist Monument Australia. These emails are not authorised by Monument Australia and we do not know the person who sent them. You should not make any payments to any bank account details in the email. We only use the Paypal “Donate” button on this webpage to accept donations.
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.
Reverend Thomas DovePrint Page 
Reverend Thomas Dove, a graduate of the University of Glasgow, arrived in Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) in 1835. In 1837 he was appointed Chaplain to the Aboriginal settlement on Flinders Island, after an appointment as District Chaplain at Oatlands was controversially revoked. From 1841 to 1844 he was a chaplain in the convict probation system. In 1844 he was appointed Presbyterian minister to the district of Great Swanport. He remained in Swansea until his death in 1882.
Note: Cranbrook Uniting was formerly the Presbyterian Church.
