About Mourilyan Harbour
Mourilyan Harbour is a small coastal locality in the Cassowary Coast Region of Far North Queensland, located 12.5 kilometres southeast of Innisfail and approximately 100 kilometres south-southeast of Cairns. With a population of 142 at the 2021 census across 20.8 square kilometres, it is a working port facility that has historically served as the export point for the region's sugar cane industry. The locality sits on the tropical coast surrounded by sugar cane fields and rainforest.
Mourilyan Harbour's identity is tied to its port and the sugar industry, with bulk sugar exported through the harbour facilities. The area also features the Australian Sugar Heritage Centre, which tells the story of the cane industry in North Queensland. Residents enjoy a quiet tropical lifestyle with proximity to Innisfail's services and the Wet Tropics World Heritage rainforest. It appeals to those working in agriculture and the port, offering extremely affordable housing in a lush tropical setting.
Mourilyan Harbour falls under postcode 4858 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hill electorate.
