General Information

We use the administrative councils as "counties" in Australia, so please, in the cases where we already know where to find information, request one council at a time. You are better placed to know which is the right one than are we.

Towns and areas often have their own local plaque or landmark systems. We can add them, but we need you to provide the information in the form of a web link. We currently do not have enough resources to do all the research ourselves. Otherwise, we can only add such plaques as "wildcards".

Not all heritage sites have plaques. If you can find them, you've snarfed them.

Landmark-hunting is not an exact science and you might find that there are listed places which don't exist, should be removed because they're sensitive, private or archaeological, etc. Please just contact us and let us know if you find something like this.

Don't forget that you can include most monuments, statues and memorials as long as they give a bit of history and aren't just a simple "In Memoriam". You can also include war memorials; see the searchable site below, but understand that it isn't comprehensive. If your site isn't included, you'll need to request it individually.
