The unusual Historical Marker is shaped as a black marble headstone, set on a small concrete pad beside the main road into Wangaratta CBD. It reads:
In Memory Of
The Pangerang aborigines who
once owned this beautiful valley
before the coming of white
settlers. MARY MILAWA the last
of her tribe died 6-11-1888
"She walked in her world all alone."
On a shallow concrete plinth to the front is a rectangular bronze plaque, which reads:
"This memorial erected by Wangaratta City Council and donated by the Dowling Family "Pangerang Descendants""
