History

Palmerston district is named after Christie Palmerston, an Australian explorer. He led several expeditions during the last quarter of the nineteenth century including the discovery of a route along the Mowbray River, which eventually led to the founding of Port Douglas.  Palmerston lies within the Wooroonooran National Park, which is part of the Bellenden Ker Range and includes Queensland’s two highest mountains, Mount Bartle Frere (1622 m) and Mount Bellenden Ker (1592 m).

Palmerston district was formed in 1999 [1, 2], and was de-registered on 9^th August 2006 [3].  In 2003, the District Commissioner was Sheila Doyle [4].
