Hamilton Plains is a rural locality in the Whitsunday Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Hamilton Plains had a population of 78 people.[1]
Geography
The Proserpine River forms the western, southern and south-eastern boundary of the locality with Myrtle Creek forming the northern and north-eastern boundary. The land is flat and low-lying (approximately 10 metres above sea level). It is entirely freehold land used for cropping, predominantly sugarcane.[3]
The Bruce Highway traverses the locality from south to north-west. The North Coast railway line also traverses the locality from south to north-west, most of the way it runs immediately parallel and west of the highway. There is no railway station serving the locality. There is also a network of cane tramways to deliver harvested sugarcane to the mill in neighbouring Proserpine.[3]
The Proserpine–Shute Harbour Road (State Route 59) starts at an intersection with the Bruce Highway and runs north and then east through the locality.[4]
