St Paul`s Anglican Memorial ChurchPrint Page 
The church commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It was consecrated as a Memorial Church in 1977 when it became debt free.
The total cost of the finished church came to £22,000. It was dedicated by Bishop Shevill on 4 July 1959, coinciding with American Independence Day. During the ceremony a memorial plaque was unveiled by ET Bourne, the second secretary of the US Embassy in Canberra.
An ANZAC shrine in the north-east corner has a bronze plaque attached to the centre of the wall, listing the names of fallen servicemen from the Proserpine district. Above this is a wooden sign bearing the words "Lest We Forget" and a small crucifix. A wooden rack supports flags attached to wooden poles
