The Bruce Highway passes through the south-western corner. South Townsville Road runs along part of the south-western boundary, while Townsville Connection Road runs along another section of the south-western boundary. Townsville Port Road passes through the south-eastern corner. [3]

History

The suburb takes its name from a property name used by James Gordon (1822-1904), Sub-Collector of Customs in Townsville from 1865. The name is probably referring to Cluden Water, a stream in Scotland near his birthplace in Dumfries. [2]

The presence of the Cluden railway station ( 19°19′01″S146°49′24″E / 19.31691°S 146.82333°E / -19.31691; 146.82333 (Cluden railway station (former)) ) [4] on the North Coast railway line prompted the relocation of the racecourse from central Townsville to a new site near the railway station called Cluden Racecourse to enable people from a wider area to attend the races through the convenience of travelling by rail. [5] The railway station has subsequently closed.
