To pay for this members and their friends contributed one shilling, same as the Shilling Wall at QVCentre. The Stste Library Victoria will soon have our archived material with info. The next Pioneer Women's Memorial Ceremony will be held on 19th January at 10.00am 2012- many dignitaries attend- please feel free to come along. Dear Julie,

It is a beautiful garden. I understand that there is a garden somewhere in Melbourne that has a plaque with the names of those pioneer women. I would like to find this garden as part of my family history journey. Is there any where a copy of the list of pioneer names that are under the sundial? It is a beautiful garden.
