About No 4 Branch
No 4 Branch is a small rural locality in Far North Queensland, situated within the Cassowary Coast Region approximately 25 kilometres south of Innisfail and roughly 90 kilometres south-east of Cairns. The locality covers around 22 square kilometres of coastal lowland floodplain — terrain characteristic of the sugarcane districts between Tully and Innisfail along the Bruce Highway corridor. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 90 residents across 25 dwellings, with the community drawn predominantly from farming families working the surrounding agricultural land.
The locality sits in one of the wettest farming regions in Australia, with the Cassowary Coast's tropical climate supporting extensive sugarcane cultivation that defines the area's landscape and economy. Nearby Silkwood, just a short drive north, serves as the closest local hub with a service station and community facilities, while Innisfail provides supermarkets, schools, and healthcare. The World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics rainforest is within easy reach, and residents value the region's natural beauty — including proximity to Kurrimine Beach and Mission Beach on the tropical coast.
No 4 Branch falls under postcode 4856 and is governed by Cassowary Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hill electorate.
