When Britain declared war on Germany in 1914, over 460 volunteers from the Woothakata Shire (later Mareeba Shire) answered the call to enlist. Mareeba's then population was around 1200. Across the Atherton Tablelands, around 1000 personnel formed part of the 57,700 Queensland service men and women who enlisted in the First World War. Over 100 Mareeba Shire soldiers never returned home.
Anzac Park is dedicated to the local soldiers who lost their lives in WW1, WW2 and Vietnam. More information about the Tableland's war history can be found on the Mareeba Shire Anzac Trail brochure.
