Photographs supplied by Arthur Garland / Sandra Brown
The memorial commemorates the pioneers of the goldfields and the miners. It was erected during the Great Depression from material from the old Maryborough Gaol and takes the form of a lookout -tower. The foundation stone of the tower was laid on the 15th October 1932 and officially opened on the 16th April 1933.
The tower was closed in 2021 after it was vandalised and in 2022 there were calls for its redevelopment into a tourist destination.
