World War I Cenotaph, Mackay, War memorial in Jubilee Park, Mackay, Australia.
The white marble and granite cenotaph stands at the northern edge of Jubilee Park, featuring inscribed names of 159 fallen soldiers from World War I.
Constructed between 1928 and 1929, the memorial was initially placed near Sydney Street Bridge before relocating to Jubilee Park due to riverbank erosion in 1945.
The memorial incorporates three symbolic steps leading to a mausoleum-like pedestal with a Doric column, representing the journey through remembrance and sacrifice.
The cenotaph serves as the central gathering point for annual Anzac Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies in the Mackay Region of Queensland.
Local sisters Lizzie and Mary Cameron led a 20-member committee that organized public subscriptions to fund this memorial designed by Townsville architect Stephen Harvey.
