There is a cane tramway to deliver harvested sugarcane to the local sugar mills.[7]History[edit]  Opening of the Daradgee Bridge over the Johnstone River for the railway link between Townsville and Cairns, 1924The town name is a corruption of the original township name Daraji (used from 1905 to 1918) based on an Aboriginal word meaning burial ground.[2][3]Daradgee Provisional School opened on 10 July 1911. In 1915 it became Daradgee State School. It closed on 14 December 1984.[8]The final section of the North Coast railway line was the bridge at Daradgee across the Johnstone River. The bridge was opened on 8 December 1924, by the Queensland Premier, Ted Theodore, enabling rail travel from Cairns to Brisbane and from there to as far as Perth in Western Australia.[9][10][11] The bridge is listed on the Cassowary Coast Local Heritage Register.[12]In the 2016 census, Daradgee had a population of 74 people.[1]Education[edit]Daradgee Environmental Education Centre is a special purpose facility at McAvoy Street (17\u00b029\u203212\u2033S 146\u00b000\u203219\u2033E\ufeff \/ \ufeff17.4866\u00b0S 146.0053\u00b0E\ufeff \/ -17.4866; 146.0053\ufeff (Daradgee Environmental Education Centre)).[13][14] It operates on the site of the former Daradgee State School using some of its buildings.[15]There are no regular schools in Daradgee.
