Helens Hill is a rural locality in the Shire of Hinchinbrook, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Helens Hill had a population of 118 people.[1]
Geography[edit]
Despite the name, Helens Hill is predominantly flat farming land (approx 20 metres above sea level), well-watered by numerous small creeks and is used for growing sugarcane. Mount Helen (also known as Helens Hill) rises to 227 metres (745 ft) in the locality (18°46′19″S 146°09′06″E / 18.7719°S 146.1518°E / -18.7719; 146.1518 (Mount Helen (Helens Hill))) and presumably is the source of the locality's name.[3][4][5]
The Bruce Highway passes through the locality from the south-east to the north.[3]
