The North Eton Sugar Cane Mill was completed in 1888 and was decommissioned in 1988. The decommissioning took place after rationalization of the five sugar mills in the Mackay region saw the number reduced to four. It's an interesting historic site that you can get up close to.
The size of the stack can be judged by the passing traffic as it is only a few metres from the road.
