Geography

Beach Holm is one of Townsville's northern beach suburbs. [3]

The locality is bounded to the north by the Coral Sea. The Bruce Highway enter the locality from the south-west (Mount Low / Derragun) and then forms the southern boundary of the locality (separating it from Jensen) and then exits to the south-west (the locality of Black River). [3]

The watercourse Black River enters the locality form the south-west (locality of Black Water / Jensen) and forms the south-west boundary of the locality of Beach Holm. The boundary then extends west of the river before the boundary returns to the river and follows the river to its mouth ( 19°10′43″S146°39′06″E / 19.1786°S 146.6517°E / -19.1786; 146.6517 (Black River (mouth)) ) on the Coral Sea. [4] The pocket of land on the west of the Black River is inaccessible directly from the locality east of the river. [3]

The coastal strip is sandy and extends along the coast of most of the neighbouring locality of Bushland Beach. The sandy strip is also called Bushland Beach ( 19°11′18″S146°40′23″E / 19.1884°S 146.6731°E / -19.1884; 146.6731 (Bushland Beach) ). [5] [6]

There is a small strip of housing along the beach on both sides of Batley Parade (also known as the Esplanade, 19°10′51″S146°39′20″E / 19.1808°S 146.6555°E / -19.1808; 146.6555 (Batley Parade / Esplanade) ). Apart from that, the rest of the locality is low-lying (mostly near sea level) and swampy. Some of the land can be used for grazing on native vegetation but other uses are unused. [3]

There are few streets in the locality and no access directly from the Bruce Highway. The only road access is via Mount Low on an unnamed road ( 19°11′14″S146°39′31″E / 19.1873°S 146.6586°E / -19.1873; 146.6586 (Unnamed access road) ) off Brabon Road. [3]

The North Coast railway line passes through the south of the locality from the localities of Mount Low to Black River, travelling just north of the Bruce Highway. Kulburn railway station is an abandoned station on that line ( 19°13′36″S146°38′17″E / 19.2266°S 146.6381°E / -19.2266; 146.6381 (Kulburn railway station (former)) ). [7]
