Each year, the Committee's commemorative work ensures the legacy ofthe Amoy shepherds is honoured and remembered. These earlymigrants made a significant contribution to the St George region underchallenging circumstances, and their story remains an enduring part ofour shared Australian history.
Through careful research, public commemoration, and communityengagement, the Committee has helped bring this once-overlookedchapter of local history to national attention. The Memorial stands as a lasting tribute to the resilience and sacrifce of these men, and to thebroader contribution of Chinese Australians to our country.

I am deeply honoured to commemorate and celebrate the rich multicultural history of our region and pay tribute to the legacy of the early Chi.nese Amoy Shepherds who have enriched the St George Community forover 100 years.
The committee's ongoing work in their memory not only provides aunique lens into the lives of those unable to return home but also high.lights the remarkable contribution they and their descendants havemade to the fabric of regional Australia.
Honorary Patron
David Littleproud MP
The Balonne community has cherished this historically and culturally significant relationship and embraced theMemorial to the Amoy Shepherds, which sits pride of place in our St George Cemetery since March 2019.
Our Shire shares a rich history with the Chinese community dating back to when the Amoy Shepherds first arrived in the Balonne area in the mid-1800's making a significant contribution to thedevelopment of our region back then and still to the present day. We are forever grateful of SCCMC's hard work laid in creating the connected and innovative communities our Shire enjoys to this day.
