Johnstone Shire
Johnstone Shire, an area of 1639 sq km, generally 90 km south of Cairns, was amalgamated with Cardwell Shire in 2008 to form Cassowary Coast Regional Council. It was named after the Johnstone River, named by George Dalrymple in 1873 after his colleague, Robert Johnstone, a sub-inspector of native police. Dalrymple had been commissioned by the Queensland Government to explore the far north coast.
