Mareeba & District Memorial MosquePrint Page 
The Mosque, erected by the Albanian Australian Moslem Society, commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
Islamic Albanians first began arriving in the Mareeba area in the 1930s, working in the cane fields around Cairns and later in the tobacco industry. In 1952 they began worshipping in a house specially purchased for that purpose. The extant mosque was constructed in 1970 and has been the home of Islamic worship in Mareeba and the surrounding area since.
