The Leap is a coastal rural locality in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, The Leap had a population of 664 people.[1]

Geography

The locality is bounded to the north-west by Constant Creek and to the north by its mouth (21°00′00″S 149°01′00″E / 21.0000°S 149.0167°E / -21.0000; 149.0167 (Constant Creek (mouth))) into the Coral Sea.[3] Sand Bay is offshore (20°57′00″S 149°03′13″E / 20.95000°S 149.0536°E / -20.95000; 149.0536 (Sand Bay)).[4][5][6]

The locality has a number of named peaks, including:

There is a section of the Pioneer Peaks National Park in the centre of the locality. To the immediate west and south of the national park are areas of rural residential housing. The land use in the rest of the locality is a mixture of grazing and crop growing (predominantly sugarcane).[6]

The Bruce Highway enters the locality from the south-east (Farleigh) and exits to the south-west (Hampden). The North Coast railway line follows a similar route to the north of the highway but there are no railway stations on that line serving the locality.[6] There is a network of cane tramways in the locality to transport the harvested sugarcane to the sugar mill for processing.[10]

History

The Leap is named for a historical event in which it is widely believed an Aboriginal woman carrying her daughter leapt off a cliff to evade capture by the Queensland Native Police circa 1860. The woman died but her daughter survived.[11]

The Leap Provisional School opened on 13 March 1893. On 1 January 1909, it became The Leap State School. In 1919, Arthur Edward Hunter (of The Leap Hotel) donated 1.1786 hectares (2.912 acres) of land for the school.[12] The school closed on 8 August 1969.[13] As the land had been donated for school purposes, the usual practice was that the land was returned to the donor or their heirs. Two people made claims to be Hunter's relatives, but the Queensland Government did not find the claims to be proven and decided in 1988 to sell the land and kept the proceeds.[12] The school was at 2105 Maraju Yakapari Road (21°04′12″S 149°00′30″E / 21.0700°S 149.00847°E / -21.0700; 149.00847 (The Leap State School (former))).[14][15][6]

The North Coast railway line reached The Leap in 1924, [citation needed] with the area being served by the following now-abandoned stations (from south to north):

A sculpture representing the Aboriginal woman who jumped from the cliff was erected outside a local hotel in the area.[20]
