Mon Repos is a coastal locality in the Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia.

[5][6] Mon Repos is French for "My Rest" and was the name of the homestead built in 1884 by Augustus Purling Barton, a Queensland sugar industry pioneer.

[9] In the 1890s, the governments of France, Queensland and New South Wales decided to construct an undersea telegraph cable to link Australia to North America across the Pacific Ocean via New Caledonia, Fiji, Samoa, and Hawaii.

[11] In 1912 pioneer aviator Bert Hinkler launched one of his first home-made gliders on Mon Repos Beach and flew 10 metres (33 ft) above the sand dunes.

[1] Mon Repos has a number of heritage-listed sites, including Grange Road: South Sea Islander Wall[15]

Around 1884 Augustus Barton, owner of the Mon Repos homestead used South Sea Islander indentured labour on his properties, which before being planted with cane had to be cleared of scoria stones, remnants of a volcanic formation located nearby.

These stones were then used to construct the South Sea Islander Walls which remain substantially intact and are now heritage listed, a reminder of the people who were brought to work as slaves on Queensland farms between 1863 and 1904.
