The plaque commemorates cartoonist Ken Maynard (1928 - 1998) who immortalised Craig’s Crossing in his drawings of the Ettamogah Pub Mob.

Ken Maynard was an Australian cartoonist. Originally a police officer, Maynard got his break as a cartoonist in 1958 contributing his Ettamogah Pub cartoons to the Australasian Post. They became a main feature of the magazine and his cartoons were run until its last edition. These cartoons were the inspiration for a chain of Ettamogah Pubs throughout Australia.
