A monument commemorates Tony McGrane, a former Member of Parliament for his efforts in upgrading the Tottenham to Bogan Gate rail line.
Tony McGrane was born in Forbes. He had a lengthy career in local government, as a long serving councillor in Gilgandra and Dubbo. McGrane was elected in March 1999 as an independent, defeating the National Party Candidate, Richard Mutton by 14 votes to represent the seat of Dubbo in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly. Dubbo had been the safest National Party seat in New South Wales. He was re-elected in March 2003 with a significantly increased majority against the National Party of Australia's Mark Horton.
After a short battle with liver cancer, McGrane died in Sydney in 2004.
