Ross Island (Townsville, Queensland)

Ross Island is the land that lies between Ross Creek and Ross River and the Coral Sea. Ross Creek is itself a small estuarine portion of the Ross River which creates a bay inlet at the Coral Sea. Ross Island is divided into two suburbs of Townsville: South Townsville on the north of the island and Railway Estate on the south of the island.^[2]

Ross Island is named after William Alfred Ross, European pioneer of the Townsville area and its first publican.^[1]
