Geography

South Trees is a coastal suburb facing the Auckland Channel, a waterway separated from the Coral Sea by Facing Island. The suburb consists of three non-contiguous areas of island, including the land around Parsons Point to the west of the South Trees Inlet and two islands within the South Trees Inlet, the northern one called South Trees Island while the southern one is unnamed. [3]

The suburb is used only for industrial purposes. In the Parsons Point area is the Queensland Alumina Limited refinery with a footprint of 80 hectares (200 acres) of a 3,050-hectare (7,500-acre) site. There is a causeway bridge from Parsons Point to South Trees Island where the refinery's wharf and storage facility is located. [3] [4]

The Gladstone–Benaraby Road runs just inside or just outside the western boundary.

History

The suburb takes its name from South Trees Point, [2] which in turn was named about 6 August 182 by explorer Matthew Flinders on HMS Investigator on the first circumnavigation of Australia. [5]

The Queensland Alumina refinery was commissioned in 1967. [4]
