The Trinity Inlet (aka Smith Creek) is the northern boundary of the locality while Wrights Creek (the watercourse from which the locality takes its name) and Mackey Creek form parts of the eastern and western boundaries of the locality. Warners Road is the southern boundary. The northert part of the locality is undeveloped wetlands and the mountainous region is also undeveloped. However, most of the locality is used for farming (predominantly sugarcane).[3] The Bruce Highway and North Coast railway line pass through the south-western part of the locality; Kamma railway station services the local area. There is also a network of cane tramways to transport the harvested sugarcane to the Mulgrave Sugar Mill.[3][4] HistoryWright's Creek Provisional School opened on 8 October 1894, becoming Wright's Creek State School on 1 January 1909. It closed in 1953.[5] References1. ^{{cite QPN|48946|Wrights Creek|locality in Cairns Region|accessdate=12 December 2017}} 2. ^1 {{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC33198|name=Wrights Creek|accessdate=22 April 2018|quick=on}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://qldglobe.information.qld.gov.au/|title=Queensland Globe|publisher=State of Queensland|accessdate=13 December 2017}} 4. ^{{Cite QPN|17631|Kamma|railway station in Cairns Region|accessdate=13 December 2017}} 5. ^{{Citation|title=Queensland schools past and present|publication-date=2010|author1=Queensland Family History Society|edition=Version 1.01|publisher=Queensland Family History Society|isbn=978-1-921171-26-0}} External links{{Commons category-inline|Wrights Creek, Queensland}}{{Cairns Region}}{{Queensland-geo-stub}} 1 : Cairns Region |
