  1. Explorers' Monument

    The Explorers Monument is a monument located on The Esplanade in Fremantle, Western Australia Fremantle , Western Australia . It is approximately six metres high, and consists of a head and shoulders statue of Maitland Brown , sitting on granite pedestals on a granite base inset with plaques honouring three explorers, Frederick Panter , James Harding and William Goldwyer . The monument was commissioned by C. J. Brockman, and the statue of Brown was sculpted by Pietro Porcelli . Margaret Forrest Lady Forrest unveiled the work in February 1913. Due to controversy about its presentation of settler Aboriginal disputes it was altered in the 1990s. Panter, Harding and Goldwyer were killed by Australian Aborigine Aboriginal people in 1864, while exploring in the Kimberley region of Western Australia . When the men failed to return, Brown was commissioned to lead the La Grange expedition , which searched for the whereabouts of the missing men. Brown s search party found the men dead, having been speared to death, two of them evidently in their sleep. Shortly afterwards, a number of Aborigines were killed by Brown s party in a highly controversial incident that was reported by Brown as a battle brought on by an Aboriginal ambush, but which has often since been characterised as a punitive massacre of Aborigines by white settlers. One of the original plaques on the pedestal reads as follows class messagebox style text align center font variant small caps THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED BY br C ... br earliest explorers after Grey and Gregory of this br Terra Incognita ,attacked at night by treachorous ... people to defend their land or of the br history of provocation which led to the explorers death. br ...
