Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Ficus religiosa
This, the "Jubilee Tree", was planted at the intersection of Victoria and Sydney Sts, Mackay, by Miss B. Black, daughter of His Worship the Mayor Alderman H. B. Black on the 22nd June, 1897. The occasion was the Diamond Jubilee of 60 years on the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
The "Jubilee Tree" was removed to this spot of the 10th August, 1965, to make way for the installation of traffic signals, introduced in Mackay during the term of office (7. 6. 52 to 3. 5. 67) of His Worship the Mayor Alderman John Binnington.
