This monument commemorates the careers of two early 20th century Western Australian public figures. The Governor of the State from 1903–9, Sir Frederick George Denham Bedford KCB (1838–1913), and a State Premier George Leake (1847–1918), who was Premier in two periods of office 27 May 1901 to 21 November 1901, and again from 23 December 1901 until his death on 24 June 1902.
The monument is a water fountain, with two water dispensers. The two plaques are on opposite sides of the monument. It is near Fraser Avn, under several trees.
