Hudson is a rural locality in the Cassowary Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[3] In the 2021 census, Hudson had a population of 238 people.[2]
The locality is on the western edge of the town of Innisfail.[1]
The Bruce Highway enters the locality from the north-east (Goondi Bend), forms the northern boundary of the locality and exits to the north-west (Belvedere / Goondi). The locality is bounded to the east by Swampy Creek.[1]
The land is very flat, approx 10 metres (33 ft) above sea level except for an area in the east of the locality which is on a small hill approx 20 metres (66 ft) above sea level.[1] The land use is predominantly crop growing, a mixture of bananas and sugarcane. The hill in the east of the locality is used for suburban housing. There is some grazing on native vegetation in the south-west of the locality.[1]
There is a cane tramway through the locality to transport the harvested sugarcane to the local sugar mill.[1]
