St Lawrence, Queensland

St Lawrence, Queensland

Saint Lawrence is a small town in Queensland, Australia, located 823 km north of Brisbane and 6 km off the Bruce Highway. It is part of the Isaac Regional Council. Once a prosperous port town, exporting cattle from the hinterland, the population of St Lawrence today stands at approximately 150, most of whom are railway workers. The town is located south of St Lawrence Creek, which flows into a vast bay known as Broad Sound, a waterway noted for its large tidal range (up to 9 metres in the summer).
