Clarke Place Park
In 1924, Evan and Grace Clarke, and their nine children, settled on the Passage at Maloja Avenue and opened Caloundra's first Ice Works that was later destroyed by a cyclone. They established a year-round commercial fishing business and also provided locals with ice (electricity came to Caloundra in 1941). At Happy Valley the Clarke Place Plaque commemorates one of Caloundra's fishing families. Over 75 years, the Clarke family have taken part in over 50 rescues in Pumicestone Passage and the ocean. They were awarded a citation from the Humane Society of Australia.
