About Innisfail
The Practice is located within the town centre, the hospital and all other facilities are within walking distance.
Innisfail is the Cassowary Coast's largest town, with a population of approximately 10,000. The township is picturesquely situated at the junction of the North and South Johnstone Rivers, approximately five kilometres from the coast. Innisfail is 90km from Cairns (an hour's drive) along the Bruce Highway, making it easily accessible by car, bus or train.
Townsville is a three and half hour drive south and the Great Barrier Reef is only a half hour boat ride. There are plenty of tourist attractions within driving distance for day trips.
A warm tropical climate, and an annual rainfall of around 3500mm, ensures the area is always lush and green. Average daytime temperatures in Australia's winter from 26 and 30 degrees Celsius (in the dry season from May to October) and in the wet season (November to April) the temperature is around 30 degrees.
Agriculture is the major economic driver with well-established banana, sugar cane and tropical fruit industries. Nearby Mourilyan Harbour is a major regional port boasting bulk sugar-loading facilities. Tourism is a growth industry and Innisfail is a popular destination for backpackers seeking employment in the banana industry.
The town is a major service hub for the Cassowary Coast region and has a wide range of shopping facilities including national retail outlets e.g.
Kmart, Target, McDonalds, Coles, Woolworths etc., government services and regional health and educational facilities, including several Public schools and a Private school.
With access to two World Heritage Areas - the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and the Wet Tropics rainforests - the town is surrounded by beautiful natural attractions. Pristine beaches such as Etty Bay, Flying Fish Point, Cowley Beach and Kurrimine Beach are a short drive away. Wooroonooran National Park, with the Mamu Canopy Walkway and walking trails through the Misty Mountains, is 27km west of Innisfail. Other attractions include an historic Spanish-style castle and pleasure gardens, a crocodile park, tropical fruit winery and sugar industry museum. In town, picnic and barbecue spots can be found at Warrina Lakes, along the riverfront and at Anzac Memorial Park.
