It is largely unspoilt but it is worth noting that the signs everywhere alert the visitor to "marine stingers may be present in these waters" and "WARNING persons entering local waters do so at their own risk. These are tropical waters where presence of dangerous jelly fish is possible.
Calm seas - Northerly winds - High temperatures - favour the presence of stingers. But other conditions do not guarantee their absence. Hay Point and Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal The rapidly evolving history of coal will make these observations redundant in a few years but, currently, this is a huge operation with "coking coal being received from mines situated km southwest of Mackay and railed to the port by the Queensland Rail.
The coal is transported in bottom dump wagons of 82 tonne capacity. The trains comprise wagons held by five tonne electric locomotives. The trains pass through 1 of 2 bottom dump stations on arrival. The unloading rate is approximately tonnes per hour for each dump station. Coal from each of the mines is stockpiled and reclaimed separately, as each coal has different specifications.
The total stockpile capacity is 2 million tonnes. The operation has one automated stacker on line 1. By transfer to other conveyors the coal is loaded into the holds of the ship by rail mounted shiploaders on each of the berths. The shiploader has a nominal loading rate of 4, tonnes per hour. On berth no. The telescopic rotating chutes are mounted on the outer shuttle with a nominal fast rate of 6, tonnes per hour. It has information about the attractions in the area. I have not put up shopping, accommodation or eating because they change too quickly and because, with towns, it would take a team of researchers to keep it up to date and accurate.
Sorry about that. All of which are beautiful and within 20 mins of Sarina. Location Sarina is located km north of Brisbane on Highway 1. Got something to add? Have we missed something or got a top tip for this town? Have your say below. In the following year Sarina was joined to Mackay by rail. Further extensions followed, in to Koumala and in to St Lawrence, which completed that part of the North Coast railway route down to Brisbane. A Catholic primary school opened in and an alcohol distillery began operation in , using the previously discarded molasses waste from the mill.
In reticulated electricity was switched on in the town, and bowls and golf clubs were started, Postwar development intensified in the s, with the town hospital , a high school and the formation of a show society The next decade's development came from further away, the Bowen Basin coal fields.
Late in the s plans were made for coal export terminals north-east of Sarina, at Dalrymple Bay and Hay Point. From ss there was a steady increase in Sarina's population from the low s to Sarina is a compact town with three of its churches, three of its hotels and the offices of the former Sarina Shire grouped around Broad Street. The median in Broad Street is the site of a fine war memorial which is listed on the Queensland heritage register.
A short way south there are the railway station, the central mill operated by CSR since and the power alcohol plant. Skip to main content. Census Date Population
