Julatten is a rural town and locality in the Shire of Mareeba, Queensland, Australia.
[1] Julatten is on the eastern edge of the Atherton Tableland (about 450 metres (1,476 ft) above sea level).
The area, which was settled in the early 1920s and originally known as Bushy Creek, takes its name from the railway station, which in turn was named by the Queensland Railways Department and is an Aboriginal word meaning small creek.
After difficulties in choosing a route, The Mossman - Mount Molloy Road was officially opened on 2 January 1949 by the Queensland Minister for Agriculture Harold Collins.
[4] On the ascent/descent of the range on the Mossman - Mount Molloy Road is the Lyons Lookout with a good view across the coastal areas to the north-east.
