As the name suggests, it is immediately north of the Cairns central business district. Highway 1 (part of the main route around the Australian coast) passes through the suburb on Sheridan Street.[3] The suburb is flat land just above sea level. Parkland and an esplanade separate the developed areas of the suburb from the sea. At high tide there is a small sandy beach but low tide reveals an extensive mudflat.[3] The suburb has a mix of uses having both permanent and holiday residential (the latter being mostly close to the shore), commercial buildings and community facilities, including a number of schools, Cairns Hospital, the Tobruk Memorial swimming pool and the now closed cemetery in McLeod Street.[3] HistoryEdge Hill State School opened in Cairns North on 19 February 1917. It was renamed Cairns North State School in 1939 ( just prior to the opening of a separate Edge Hill State School in neighbouring suburb of Edge Hill in 1940). Cairns North State School closed on 31 December 2004.[7] Cairns State High School opened on 28 January 1924, having commenced operation as an annex to Cairns Central State School in 1917.[7][9]Mother of Good Counsel School opened on 29 March 1936 with 19 students, after Father Phelan (an Augustinian priest) saw the need for Catholic education in the area. The school was operated by the Sisters of Mercy.[4][5] Although Cairns North has a beach, in 1962 concerns about marine stingers in the seawater resulted in the establishment of the Tobruk Memorial swimming pool (not to be confused with the similarly named pool in Townsville).[6] PopulationAccording to the 2016 census of Population, there were 5,191 people in Cairns North.
