Innisfail
Located on Djirbalngan country at the junction of the Johnstone and South Johnstone Rivers, approximately four kilometres from the Cassowary Coast Region's coastline, 73 kilometres south-southeast of Cairns and 210 kilometres north-northwest of Townsville, Innisfail is known for its sugar and banana industries and its status as one of Australia's wettest towns. The town was originally called Geraldton — after sugar planter Thomas Henry Fitzgerald — but was changed to Innisfail — a poetic name for Ireland — in 1910 to avoid confusion with Geraldton in Western Australia.
