Ten kilometres east of Chinchilla, this timber hall honours an insect. The cactoblastis moth was introduced in the 1920s to control the prickly pear that had swallowed huge areas of Queensland farmland, and local farmers built the hall in 1936 to mark the recovery of the district.
The building is simple, but the story is excellent: biological control, rural desperation, and the rare public monument to a moth. An interpretive sign outside explains the background if the hall itself is closed.
