Maitland Brown Memorial, Memorial sculpture in Esplanade Park, Fremantle, Australia
The granite memorial features a central statue of Maitland Brown sitting atop pedestals with five plaques inset into the base structure.
Inaugurated in 1913, this monument commemorates three explorers who lost their lives during an 1864 expedition in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The memorial includes two contrasting plaques: one from 1913 presenting colonial perspectives and another from 1994 acknowledging Aboriginal viewpoints of the historical events.
The memorial stands 6 meters tall in a central location of Esplanade Park, making it easily visible to visitors exploring Fremantle's historical landmarks.
This monument represents a rare example of public memorial modification, where additional plaques were added to present multiple historical perspectives of colonial events.
