This 3D model originally was created with Sketchup 7 before being converted into various other 3D formats. The native format is .skp, and the 3dsmax scene utilizes the 2016 version, which was rendered using Vray 3.00 A public committee was appointed in 1923 to initiate a campaign to collect funds for the construction of a memorial, with Mayor AJ Draper of Cairns laying the foundation stone on January 4, 1925. The memorial was officially unveiled by Mayor Draper on Anzac Day, 1926. It cost £2,074 to complete, making it the most expensive 'digger' type memorial in Queensland and the third most costly First World War monument in the state. Residents of Queensland overwhelmingly preferred 'digger' memorials, with a total of 60 such figures erected across the region, nearly all manufactured locally. Among these monuments, the Cairns memorial stands out for featuring a 'digger' perched atop a clock tower - a unique design choice that serves two distinct purposes: it adds substantial size and visual interest to the monument, making it an unmistakable landmark; simultaneously fulfilling the long-held desire for a public timepiece in Cairns.
