Buchan is a coastal town in the locality of Palm Cove in the Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia.^[1]

Geography

Buchan is a coastal town with sandy beaches north and south of Buchan Point. The Captain Cook Highway passes through the town.^[2]

History

The town name is derived from Mount Buchan, named on 20 October 1873 by explorer George Elphinstone Dalrymple, after one of the districts of his native Aberdeenshire in Scotland.^[1]^[3]

In the 1880s, there was a coconut palm plantation with over 600 trees owned by James Jamieson known as the Mount Buchan Estate. It was predicted to become a popular seaside retreat for the people of Cairns.^[4] The palm trees along the beach areas gave it the nickname Palm Beach but, as that caused confusion with other places officially known as Palm Beach, it acquired the name Palm Cove, which is now the official name for the locality (although the town itself remains gazetted as Buchan).^[5]

In April 1933, a number of families were living at Buchan Point while the men were working on the road from Cairns to Port Douglas (now the Captain Cook Highway). The families asked the Queensland Government to provide a school.^[6] Buchan Point State School opened on 1933 and in December 1933 the students enjoyed a "breaking up" party at Hartley's Creek.^[7] Buchan Point State School No 850 opened on 1933he school closed in February 1934.^[8]^[9]
