El Arish History Station

El Arish (Pronounced EL-A-rish) is nestled in the Mission Beach Hinterland just off the Bruce Highway between Tully in the South, and Innisfail in the North. It is surrounded by rainforest, cane paddocks, banana farms and beautiful scenery.

Mission Beach, Kurrimine Beach and Dunk Island are right on our door-step.

We are only a tiny population (around 270) by many of the families still living in El Arish and Surrounds have ancestors that came to the Soldiers Settlement when it was established under "The Returned Soldiers Settlement Act of 1971" Under the Act the area was first called "The Maria Creek Soldiers' Settlement" at EL Arish and was established on the 1st August 1920.
