Download coordinates as: The Leap is a coastal rural locality in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia.

[6] There is a network of cane tramways in the locality to transport the harvested sugarcane to the sugar mill for processing.

In 1919, Arthur Edward Hunter (of The Leap Hotel) donated 1.1786 hectares (2.912 acres) of land for the school.
