Geography

The locality is bounded to the south by Attie Creek, a tributary of Meunga Creek which forms the south-western boundary of the locality and then flows east through the locality to the Coral Sea ( 18°13′53″S146°00′53″E / 18.23139°S 146.01472°E / -18.23139; 146.01472 (Meunga Creek (mouth)) ). [3] [4]

The Bruce Highway enters the locality from the south-east (Cardwell) and exits to the north-west (Kennedy). [4]

The North Coast railway line also enters the locality from the south-east (Cardwell) and exits to the north-west (Kennedy). [4] The locality was served by the now-abandoned Ellerbeck railway station ( 18°14′34″S145°59′36″E / 18.2428°S 145.9933°E / -18.2428; 145.9933 (Ellerbeck railway station (former)) ). [5]

Part of the eastern coastal of the locality is within the Girramay National Park. Apart from this protected area, the remainder of the locality is mixture of agricultural use (crop growing and grazing on native vegetation) and rural residential housing. [4]

History

The locality was named after the Ellerbeck railway station, which was in turn named on 18 February 1925 by the Queensland Railways Department. [2]

The name for the parish has been documented since 1866. As for the locality, the name of the town of Ellerbeck near Osnabrück was probably the basis. Though, however, can be seen as a Germanic language name, Ellerbeck is therefore found in England or North Germany. [6]

In the 2016 census, Ellerbeck had a population of 205 people. [7]

In the 2021 census, Ellerbeck had a population of 207 people. [1]
