Mourilyan
Mourilyan, a rural town, is 10 km south of Innisfail and 90 km south-east of Cairns. It was named by Captain John Moresby in 1872 after one of his officers, Lieutenant Mourilyan. Moresby charted Mourilyan Harbour, 9 km east of the town, when journeying in HMS Basilisk on a coastal patrol.
