Plaque says, in part:

This monument honours the seventy Australian men and women who went to Spain during the Spanish civil war of 1936-1939 to defence the cause of the Spanish Republic.

...

The Australian writer Nettie Palmer who was in Barcelona when the uprising occured said of those who supported the Spanish Republic - though they were few in number and not powerful and seemed often to be shouting against the wind theirs was truly a brave chapter in Australia's history.

This memorial erected by the Australian in Spain Memorial Committee was dedicated on 11 December 1993 by Lloyd Edmonds, International Brigade veteran.

The memorial is in Lennox Gardens beside Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra.
