Cairns Sailors and Soldiers Memorial, Cairns
Cairns Sailors and Soldiers Memorial is a statue of an infantry soldier standing on a high clock tower, and looking out to sea. The monument is 41 feet high and it once served as a clock tower. Until 1972, it was located at the intersection of Abbott and Shields Streets. Today, it can be found on the Esplanade, but with the clock missing. The clock dials have been painted to show the time as 4:28 am, the time when ANZAC troops landed at Gallipoli. The names of the locals fallen in World War I are listed on a marble plaque.
