The is
the monument that the township of
Castlemaine in the 1800's banded together to get built.
The reason the
Castlemaine township got together to built it, is that the Royal Society of Victoria spent funds on
the monument to the Burke and Wills Expedition in
Melbourne and so believed that it should be the only recognised monument in recognition to the Burke and Wills Expedition.
Castlemaine thought otherwise, not only did
the monument get built, but it also recognised the other participants that were on the expedition that the Royal Society of Victoria failed to give public acknowledge too.
