Packers Camp

Packers Camp is a rural locality in the Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia.

The land is principally used for agricultural, mostly for growing sugarcane, with some scattered rural residences, mostly along Redbank Road.

There is a cane tramway passing through the locality to transport the harvested sugarcane to the Mulgrave Sugar Mill.

[3] Packers Camp is situated in the Yidinji traditional Aboriginal country.

Later it became known as Packer Camp as it was the place where the horse, mule and bullock teams were loaded for the trip over the range to the goldfields.
