about us

our history

Where we started

In 1970 Sam and Frank Marino purchased a sugar cane farm in West Cairns that included a hill that seemed unusable. That was until 1973 when the brothers came up with the idea to apply for a quarry permit. Over 40 years later the quarry has now seen three Marino generations pick up the tools.

At Marino Quarry we are proud to be a family owned and operated business. It’s fair to say that crusher dust flows through our veins.
