Germantown is a rural locality in the Cassowary Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. [2] In the 2021 census, Germantown had a population of 52 people. [1]
The locality is bounded to the north-west by Utchee Creek, to the north by Camp Creek Road, to the east by Stewart Creek, and to the south by the watercourse Mena Creek. [3]
The Innisfail Japoon Road enters the locality from the north (the locality Camp Creek) and exits to the south-west (the locality Mena Creek). [3]
The land use is agricultural, a mix of crop growing (with sugarcane being widely grown) and grazing on native vegetation. [3] There is a cane tramway network through the locality to transport the harvested sugarcane to the South Johnstone sugar mill. [3]
After the First World War, many German settlers settled here (hence the place name). It was mainly a sugar cane farming community until the early 2010s, at which time a large portion of Germantown was converted from sugar cane into open cattle country. Another portion of Germantown was recently converted into a Banana farm.[ citation needed ]
