Granite Creek
To geologist Robert Logan Jack's disgust, there are numerous Granite Creeks scattered across the Northern countryside:
Granite Creeks are nearly as common as Sandy Creeks. Both belong to a family, which includes Stony Creeks, Oaky Creeks, etc., descriptive of some characteristic of the creek where it was first met with, and the name is of no topographical value. (Northmost Australia, p. 386n.)
Near Mareeba, the locality of Granite Creek lies west of Walkamin and includes the Lotus Glen Correctional Centre.
