Mount Julian, Queensland
Geography
The locality is bounded to the north-west by Brandy Creek, which becomes a tributary of Myrtle Creek and the south-western boundary of the locality, which then becomes a tributary of the Proserpine River, which is the southern boundary of the locality.
The Proserpine–Shute Harbour Road (State Route 59) runs across the locality from west to east and then turns north along the eastern boundary.
The mountain Mount Julian is in the centre of the locality (20°22′28″S 148°36′23″E / 20.3744°S 148.6065°E) and rises to 229 metres (751 ft) above sea level. The locality presumably takes its name from the mountain.
The land use is a mixture of growing sugarcane in the north of the locality, rural residential housing on the lower slopes of the mountain, and grazing on native vegetation.
There are cane tramways to transport the harvested sugarcane to the Proserpine sugar mill.
