About The North

• Bellenden Ker Range: Phillip Parker King named the range — located south of Gordonvale and northwest of Innisfail — after John Bellenden Ker on 22 June 1819, following a suggestion by Allan Cunningham. Queensland's two highest peaks, Mount Bartle Frere (1622 m) and Mount Bellenden Ker (1593 m), form part of the range. Walsh's Pyramid (922 m), one of the highest free-standing natural pyramids in the world, sits at the range's northern end. The Mulgrave River rises on the range's southwestern slopes, and the area's high rainfall has resulted in several waterfalls, most notably Fishery Falls. At the foot of the range, Bellenden Ker township was to be called Millville in anticipation of the construction of a sugar mill which was never built.
