The Bruce Highway traverses through the locality from the south-east to the west, passing through the town. The North Coast railway line also passes through the locality from the south-east to the west but further north and east than the highway. The Farleigh railway station is located beside the Farleigh sugar mill which has an associated sugarcane tramway network.[3][4] The land in the locality is mostly flat at 30-40 metres above sea level. It is freehold land used for cropping, principally sugarcane.[3] HistoryFarleigh Mill was built in 1883 by Sir John Bennett Laws. For the first years, the mill had an associated sugar plantation. In 1900 the mill was sold to Farleigh Estate Sugar Co Ltd in 1900 and developed so that it could replace a number of the local mills: Ashburton, The Cedars, Coningsby, Pioneer, Richmond, Nindaroo, Habana and Dumbleton. In 1921 the CSR Company discontinued operations at the nearby Homebush Mill and the Farleigh Mill took over their crushing. After Farleigh Estate Sugar Co Ltd went bankrupt in 1926, the mill was purchased by a co-operative of local sugarcane growers. In November 1987 Farleigh Mill merged with other Mackay district mills to created the Mackay Sugar Co-operative Association Ltd.[5] Coningsby State School opened on 24 November 1884.[7] Farleigh State School opened on 1 March 1909.[6] EducationFarleigh has two state primary schools located about 3.5km apart. Coningsby State School is a primary (P-6) school for boys and girls operated by the Queensland Government at 1312 Bruce Highway. In 2016, the school had an enrolment of 66 students with 5 teachers (4 full-time equivalent) and 5 non-teaching staff (3 full-time equivalent).[7] Farleigh State School is a primary (P-6) school for boys and girls operated by the Queensland Government in Childlow Street.
