Open Plaques is quite smart. When a few plaques have been geolocated it will use the average to define where this area is.

If you would like to see the map a bit sooner then you could help us.

Just find 'Camperdown, Australia' on Google Maps and tell us the .

We will extract the geolocation. Probably.

James Dawson This plaque commemorates the remarkable work of pioneer settler and naturalist James Dawson. Born 1806 in Scotland, landed in Hobson's Bay in 1840 and died at Camperdown in 1900. Through his efforts this obelisk was erected. He was a friend and protector of district Aborigines, and with his daughter Isabella, who spoke the local dialects, was author of the book Australian Aborigines. He was associated with district properties Wuurong, Renny Hill and Wooriwyrite. Presented by the Camperdown Historical Society 1983.
