The Boonarga Cactonblaastis Hall, Queensland Heritage listed building is said to be the only building dedicated to an insect. It was built in 1936 to commemorate the eradication of the Prickly Pear as a plant pest through the use of the Cactoblastis bug. It was said that the prickly pear wasw introduced as a garden plant in 1843 and by 1920 covere 58,000,000 acres. The bug successfully eradicated it.

This trip wasn't on a bike, but I was in the same area as the bike ride. I have to say, the fact that I visited a number of legal establishments is not a reflection of my character...they are interesting historical buildings in their own right!
