Geography
The locality is bounded in the south-east by the Johnstone River. Victory Creek flows through the locality; it is a tributary of the Johnstone River at Шаблон:Coord.[4] Alligator Point is a point immediately across the river from the mouth of Victory Creek where the river has a sharp bend (Шаблон:Coord).[5][6]
The land is relatively flat and low-lying (approx 10 metres above sea level) and is used for cropping including sugarcane and bananas.[7]
The Bruce Highway runs through the south-west corner of the locality while the North Coast railway line runs from south to north through the locality. There is a cane tramway to deliver harvested sugarcane to the local sugar mills.[7]
History
The town name is a corruption of the original township name Daraji (used from 1905 to 1918) based on an Aboriginal word meaning burial ground.[1][2]
Daradgee Provisional School opened on 10 July 1911. In 1915 it became Daradgee State School. It closed on 14 December 1984.[8]
The final section of the North Coast railway line was the bridge at Daradgee across the Johnstone River. The bridge was opened on 8 December 1924, by the Queensland Premier, Ted Theodore, enabling rail travel from Cairns to Brisbane and from there to as far as Perth in Western Australia.[9][10][11] The bridge is listed on the Cassowary Coast Local Heritage Register.[12]
