Mossman is a town of 1700 people in Far North Queensland, Australia, on the Mossman River. Originally known as Mosman — the name was changed to avoid confusion with the Sydney suburb of Mosman — it is located on the Captain Cook Highway 75 km north of the regional city of Cairns. Mossman is the administrative centre of the Douglas Shire, a local government area that includes the tourist resort of Port Douglas 20 km to the south. Mossman Gorge, a popular attraction within Daintree National Park, is located west of town. Sugar cane farming is an important aspect of the local economy, with Mossman Central Mill, the only sugar mill in the district, processing the cane before sending it to Cairns for shipping domestically and internationally.
