Cattle Creek Mill

Cattle Creek Sugar Mill, located at Finch Hatton near Mackay, operated from 1906 to 1990 as a significant co-operative, evolving from earlier failed attempts to establish mills in the area and becoming central to the local sugar industry before its closure due to financial pressures and changing industry dynamics, with its history documented in books like John Kerr's "Top mill in the valley". It was eventually absorbed into the Mackay Sugar Co-operative in 1988, marking the end of its standalone era before its final closure in 1990.
