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.

This is a Bi-Centennial project by the East Loddon and District Historical Society.
This plaque commemorates the development of the first permanent stock and domestic water supplies in Victoria.
In 1858, landholders adjacent to the Serpentine Creek contributed the sum of P434-4-6 to develop permanent water supplies. This project began in August 1858 and water flowed into the Serpentine Creek in November 1858.
