As its name suggests, the town of Bluewater Beach is on the coast of the Coral Sea, while the town of Bluewater is inland on the Bruce Highway, which passes from south-east to the north-west through the locality.[6] HistoryBluewater was settled in the late nineteenth century, and was close to the Purono rail siding, constructed in 1919 on the extension of the North Coast railway line from Townsville to Ingham. During World War II, Bluewater became campground to a number of service personnel whose responsibility it was to resist Japanese invasion. It was not until 1946 that land was first subdivided along Bluewater Beach, followed by subdivisions of Toolakea Beach and the Bluewater Township in the 1950s.[7] Bluewater Post Office opened by May 1960.[8] The community was badly flooded on 31 January 2019.[9] The wet weather and consequent flooding was expected to continue for another week.[10] FacilitiesToday, Bluewater is a thriving community containing a number of facilities and attractions. Bluewater Park is a popular tourist destination with designated free campsites, and is located close to the Bluewater Store (currently closed for business), Bluewater Creek, and the newly developed Urban Forest and Fitness Trail. Toolakea and Bluewater Beach are popular recreational areas, and there is a boat ramp facility and waste transfer station towards the end of Bluewater Drive.[11] Other facilities in the Bluewater area include a community centre, a Girl Guides training & camping centre,[12] a Scout hall, and Bluewater State School.[13] There is also a Bluewater Caravan Park and Bluewater Medical Practice, however they are both technically located in Purono Park, on the Bruce Highway. The Townsville City Council operate a mobile library service which visits the Community Centre at Bluewater on Monday afternoons.[14] References1. ^{{Cite QPN|3301|Bluewater|town|accessdate=24 June 2017}} 2. ^{{Cite QPN|44573|Bluewater|suburb|accessdate=24 June 2017}} 3. ^{{Cite QPN|3303|Bluewater Beach|town|accessdate=24 June 2017}} 4. ^{{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC30294 |name=Bluewater |accessdate=4 February 2019|quick=on}} 5. ^Discover Thuringowa - Northern Beaches {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719214453/http://discover.thuringowa.qld.gov.au/placestogo/northernbeaches#Bluewater |date=19 July 2008 }}, accessed 9 June 2008. 6. ^{{Queensland Globe|accessdate=24 June 2017}} 7. ^Thuringowa Library Heritage Services: A History Of The Bluewater Area {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719024059/http://library.thuringowa.qld.gov.au/resources/138.pdf |date=19 July 2008 }}, accessed 9 June 2008. 8. ^{{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}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/residents-flee-homes-go-under-in-queensland-floods/news-story/e0827dcf79044f8792a3cd58aa39c1b9|title=Bluewater, Far North Queensland, homes flooded after heavy rain|website=www.news.com.au|accessdate=3 February 2019}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=https://tendaily.com.au/news/australia/a190130aqt/cow-swept-out-to-sea-tractors-washed-away-in-wild-townsville-floods-20190130|title=Cow Swept Out To Sea, Tractors Washed Away In Wild Townsville Floods|date=30 January 2019|website=10 daily|accessdate=3 February 2019}} 11. ^Discover Thuringowa: Northern Beaches {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719214453/http://discover.thuringowa.qld.gov.au/placestogo/northernbeaches#Bluewater |date=19 July 2008 }}, accessed 9 June 2008. 12. ^Bluewater Training And Camping Centre, accessed 9 June 2008. 13. ^Bluewater State School, accessed 9 June 2008. 14. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.townsville.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0022/5089/Mobile-Library-Calendar_18_JanJun.pdf|title=Mobile Library Service|last=|first=|date=|website=Townsville City Council|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180129141018/https://www.townsville.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0022/5089/Mobile-Library-Calendar_18_JanJun.pdf#|archive-date=29 January 2018|dead-url=yes|access-date=29 January 2018|df=dmy-all}} External links
