Fraser family grave site and memorial, Hornet Bank, Historical grave site at Hornet Bank Station, Queensland, Australia.

The Fraser family grave site contains a three-tiered concrete memorial plinth surrounded by hollow metal railings within a fenced enclosure at Hornet Bank Station.

The site marks the burial location of eleven settlers, including eight Fraser family members, who were killed during a confrontation with Indigenous Australians in 1857.

This Queensland Heritage Register location represents the complex relationships between European settlers and Indigenous populations during the colonial period of Australian history.

Visitors can locate the memorial approximately 250 meters northwest of the Hornet Bank home yard, along Hornet Bank Road near Taroom.

The memorial, erected in 1957 by Andrew Scott's descendants, stands without individual grave markers, commemorating the centenary of the historical events.
