How can we hold a Dawn Service.

There are no Monuments to the death and suffering of Indigenous Australians to which we can lay wreaths?

Incredible isn't it.

Dear Sense,

If you were to google -

"Monuments to Aborigines in Australia,"

or words to that effect - you'd find quite
a few websites that list monuments throughout the
country - including all states and territories.

The following is just one link:

Foxy,

Thanks for that, I did have a look at that Web Site.
I may be wrong, but to my knowledge all of those monuments seem to be small.

But, are there any at the very least the size of the Sydney Cenotaph?

I know of one really big monument to the aboriginal people. Our continent.

Dear Sense,

You ask, are there any war memorials
for the Indigenous People of Australia
the size of the Sydney Cenotaph?

Probably not. However as you know a war
memorial can be an entire building or just
a simple plaque or even the form of a statue
in a park, or an inscription on a rock.
I agree with your concern that
Indigenous People have been neglected in so
many ways in this country - I mean they didn't
even have the right to vote until the 1960s.
However, little by little things are changing.

I googled "Australian Aboriginal War Memorials,"
and came up with this particular website:

http://www.reconciliationsa.org.au/learn%20aboriginalandtorresstraitislanderwarmemorial.html

I also found the following war memorials listed for
Indigenous People:

1) Aboriginal War Memorial Plaque, Canberra, ACT.
2) Aboriginal Memorial Plaque, Launceston, Tas.
3) Aboriginal Memorial, East Victoria Park, WA.
4) Aboriginal Soldier Memorial, Yirrkala, NT.
5) Australian Indigenous War Veterans Memorial, Toomelah, NSW.
6) Gold Coast Aboriginal Anzac Memorial.
7) Indigenous Servicemen Plaque, Moree, NSW.
8) Planned Memorial, Sydney, NSW (Bennelong Point).
9) Rock Inscription, Burleigh Heads, Qld.

And finally this link:

The most important thing is, I feel that finally recognition
is being made:

"They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them."

Foxy, I was thinking more along the lines of a memorial to those indigenous Australians who lost their lives and liberty in the founding of this nation
