At the 2016 census, Mourilyan had a population of 571 people.[3] GeographyThe town is located {{convert|8|km|mi}} south of Innisfail on the Bruce Highway. HistoryConstruction of the Mourilyan sugar mill began in 1882, rendering it among the oldest in Australia. Excavation of the site was undertaken mainly by Kanakas, with assistance from Chinese and Anglo-Saxon labourers. After its completion in 1884, the mill had a processing capacity of 14 tonnes of sugar per 12-hour shift.[4] In 1913, the Colonial Sugar Refining Company (now CSR) began purchasing sugar refined at the mill. Mourilyan remained a small settlement, growing only very slowly since. Mourilyan Post Office opened by September 1910 (a receiving office had been open from 1884 when the mill opened).[5] Mourilyan is prone to tropical cyclones; in 1918, a cyclone caused serious damage to the mill and surrounding community, having a drastic effect on sugar production in that year. In 1986, Cyclone Winifred also caused substantial damage to the area. Cyclone Larry caused substantial damage to many households in the area, and destroyed the town's main source of employment. A major effort by the Australian Defence Force helped restore Mourilyan Primary School to functioning capacity. Insurance payouts have helped to repair residential and commercial properties.[6]At the 2006 census, Mourilyan had a population of 424.[7] AttractionsMourilyan's main attraction is the Australian Sugar Industry Museum,[8] which contains several relics from North Queensland's extensive sugar farming history. It also serves as a gateway to Mourilyan Harbour, Etty Bay and Paronella Park. EducationMourilyan State School opened on 29 January 1908 and as of July 2017, educates 167 students from Prep to Year 6.[9][10] References1. ^{{Cite QPN|23226|Mourilyan|town|accessdate=12 March 2017}} 2. ^{{Cite QPN|45735|Mourilyan|locality|accessdate=12 March 2017}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.censusdata.abs.gov.au/census_services/getproduct/census/2016/quickstat/SSC32061?opendocument|title=Mourilyan|last=|first=|date=12 January 2017|website=Australian Bureau of Statistics|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=3 February 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.abc.net.au/rural/regions/content/2006/s1681036.htm|title=ABC Rural News |accessdate=2007-05-26}} 5. ^{{Cite web | last = Premier Postal History | title = Post Office List | publisher = Premier Postal Auctions | url = https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=QLD&country= | accessdate = 10 May 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|url= http://cyclonelarryaftermath.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html|title= Cyclone Larry: The Aftermath |accessdate=2007-05-26}} 7. ^1 {{Census 2006 AUS|id=UCL342400|name=Mourilyan (L) (Urban Centre/Locality)|accessdate=2008-10-25|quick=on}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.jcu.edu.au/etropic/ET3/LahneySugar.htm|title=The Australian Sugar Industry Museum|accessdate=2007-05-26|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070618235837/http://www.jcu.edu.au/etropic/ET3/LahneySugar.htm |archivedate=2007-06-18}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=http://education.qld.gov.au/library/edhistory/celebrations/dates/m.html|title=Opening and closing dates of Queensland schools|last=|first=|date=1 August 2013|website=Education Queensland|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=3 February 2018}} 10. ^{{Cite web |url=https://schoolsdirectory.eq.edu.au/Search/Details/0957 |title=School Details |access-date=2018-04-09}} External links{{Commons category}}
