About Killaloe
Killaloe is a small coastal rural locality in the Shire of Douglas, Far North Queensland, situated approximately 9 kilometres south-east of Mossman and 12 kilometres west of Port Douglas, about 67 kilometres north of Cairns. With a population of 124 at the 2021 Census, it is a quiet, sparsely settled community set within the lush tropical lowlands of the Wet Tropics region. The area is characterised by sugarcane farmland and tropical vegetation, with the Captain Cook Highway running nearby as the main arterial connection.
Killaloe's rural charm lies in its proximity to some of Far North Queensland's most iconic destinations — Port Douglas and its world-famous Four Mile Beach are just a short drive east, while Mossman Gorge and Daintree National Park are easily accessible to the north. The locality is home to cane farmers and those seeking a tranquil, semi-rural lifestyle close to the coast. Residents rely heavily on private vehicles, with the nearby town of Mossman providing everyday amenities, schools, and community services.
Killaloe falls under postcode 4877 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Cook electorate.
