Erakala, Queensland

The Mackay Ring Road crosses the river from the south (Te Kowai / Racecourse) and is the south-eastern boundary of the locality before continuing north through the locality exiting to Glenella to the north-east.^[3]

The Bruce Highway forms two short segments of the locality's northern boundary entering from the north-east (Glenella) and exiting to the north-west (Farleigh).^[3]

The North Coast railway line enters the locality from the east (Foulden) heading north-west, forming part of the locality's north-eastern boundary before crossing the Bruce Highway and exiting to the north (Fairleigh / Glenella).^[3] The locality was historically served by the former Erakala railway station (21°07′38″S 149°08′00″E / 21.1271°S 149.1334°E / -21.1271; 149.1334 (Erakala railway station (former))).^[4]

Most of the land in the south of the locality is low-lying (approx 10 metres (33 ft) above sea level), particularly the land near the river. This land is almost entirely used for growing sugarcane and there is a network of cane tramways to transported the harvested sugarcane to the local sugar mills.^[4]^[3]

The northern parts of the locality are more elevated, rising to 140 metres (460 ft). This land is increasingly used for rural residential and suburban housing.^[3]^[5]

History

The locality takes its name from the former Erakala railway station, which in turn was named on 12 January 1927 by J. Strachan, the Mackay railway traffic manager of Queensland Railways Department. It is an Aboriginal word meaning "flat".^[2]^[6]
