Cactoblastis Memorial Hall, Historic memorial hall in Boonarga, Australia
The Cactoblastis Memorial Hall features timber construction with a pitched galvanized iron roof and stands on low timber supports near the Warrego Highway.
The hall, completed in 1936, commemorates the successful introduction of Cactoblastis moths from South America to control the spread of prickly pear plants.
Local residents contributed to the hall's creation through land donations and fundraising efforts, establishing it as a center for community gatherings and social events.
The building includes a central dance room with two side aisles and maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in Queensland's agricultural heritage.
This heritage-listed structure remains the sole building in Australia dedicated to an insect species that revolutionized land management through biological control.
