}}South Mission Beach is a town and a locality in the Cassowary Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[1][2] In the {{CensusAU|2016}}, South Mission Beach had a population of 932 people.[3]

Geography

As the name suggests, South Mission Beach is south of Mission Beach, although not immediately south as the town of Wongaling Beach lies between them. The three towns are bounded on the east by a shared sandy beach {{Convert|13|km|mi}} long facing the Coral Sea commencing at Clump Point in Mission Beach at the northern end ({{Coord|-17.8500|146.1166|type:landmark_region:AU-QLD|name=Clump Point}}) through to Tam O'Shanter Point in South Mission Beach at the southern end ({{Coord|-17.9666|146.1000|type:landmark_region:AU-QLD|name=Tam O'Shanter Point}}).[4][5][6]

South Mission Beach is bounded in the south and south-west by the Hull River with the North Hill River (a tributary of the Hull River) forming part of its north-western boundary. Most of the land in the locality is low-lying (less than 10 metres above sea level) and undeveloped and forms part of the Hull River National Park. However, there are some hills along the south-eastern coastline rising to unnamed peaks of up to 120 metres above sea level. The only development in the locality is residential along the north-east coast where the land is freehold.[4]

The locality of South Mission Beach includes the former township of Kenny.[2]

Tam O'Shanter Point creates two bays to the north and south of the headland, Lugger Bay to the north and Kennedy Bay to the south.[4][7][8]

There is only one road into the locality, South Mission Beach Road, which is a side-road of the more major Tully Mission Beach Road which connects to the Bruce Highway at Birkalla immediately to the north of Tully.[4]

History

The area lies within the traditional tribal territory of the JiDjiru speaking Aboriginal people, who were closely related linguistically and culturally to the Jirrbal, Gulngay and Mamu speaking people in the adjacent rainforests.[9]

Tam O'Shanter Point was named by Captain Owen Stanley of the Royal Navy survey ship HMS Rattlesnake, after the barque Tam O'Shanter which was the ship sailed by explorer Edmund Kennedy to North Queensland on his ill-fated expedition to reach Cape York Peninsula.[10] Kennedy Bay was named after Edmund Kennedy.[8]

The first European settlers in the general area were the Cutten family at present day Bingil Bay and the Garner family at present day Garners Beach. In 1912 the settlers arrived at present day South Mission Beach (the Reid family, Ben Beamon and George Webb).[9]

In September 1913, 2,900 acres of land on the Hull River were gazetted as an Aboriginal Reserve creating the Hull River Aboriginal Settlement. On 15 September 1914 John Martin Kenny, who had previously been a non-commissioned officer of the native police and an overseer at the Cape Bedford Mission was appointed Superintendent at the new settlement. The settlement site was in the north of present-day South Mission Beach. On 10 March 1918 the settlement was demolished by a cyclone and the superintendent and his daughter were killed along with 12 Aboriginal people from the settlement. According to a report on the destruction of the settlement, over 400 Aboriginal people lived on the reserve at the time of the cyclone. The Hull River settlement was not rebuilt and many of the people were relocated from the reserve to Palm Island in 1918.[11][12] All the materials at the Hull River settlement that might be useful at Palm Island were removed and then abandoned.[9]

After the removal of the Hull River Aboriginal Settlement, European settlers moved to the area to farm. However, access remained principally by sea due to a lack of road access In December 1938 a road from Tully to the Mission Beach area was completed.[13] A township which was established in 1939 was named Kenny in honour of John Martin Kenny of the Hull River Aboriginal Settlement,[14] but it was known locally as South Mission Beach and was officially renamed so on 1 November 1963. The former township of Kenny was named after John Martin Kenny of the Hull River Aboriginal Settlement.[2][9]
