Cane Cutter Memorial

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

The Cane Cutter Memorial is a significant heritage landmark located at Melba House in Marian, approximately 28 kilometres from Mackay. Erected in 1994, the memorial honours the pioneering families who helped establish and shape the Marian district.

Situated within Edward Lloyd Park, beside the historic Melba House, the statue stands as a tribute to the region’s strong agricultural roots. Plaques on the plinth record the names of residents who settled in the district prior to 1900, while additional panels acknowledge families who made Marian their home in the years that followed.

The statue is surrounded by a grove of trees planted by members of the pioneering families. The Cane Cutter Memorial offers visitors a chance to connect with the history, resilience, and community spirit that underpin the Mackay Isaac region.
