The monument commemorates the pioneers of Goyura and District.

To the north of Warracknabeal, in the former Karkarooc Shire, the first officially gazetted township was Goyura, proclaimed in 1889, where a school had opened in 1887. This was at the centre of a farming district established by the first settlers on part of the ‘Lake Corrong’ pastoral run.
