SarinaâEtonâHampden Road is a non-continuous 62.7-kilometre (39.0 mi) road route in the Mackay local government area of Queensland, Australia. It has four official names, SarinaâHomebush Road, EtonâHomebush Road, MarianâEton Road, and MarianâHampden Road. The entire route is signed as State Route 5. [1] The four roads are state-controlled, with the following characteristics:
The road starts as SarinaâHomebush Road at an intersection with the Bruce Highway in Sarina. It runs west and southwest across Sarina as State Route 5, before turning northwest and passing between Sarina and Munbura. Next it runs between Munbura and Sunnyside before crossing Sunnyside and entering Oakenden. Crossing Oakenden it turns north into Homebush, where it then turns northwest before reaching EtonâHomebush Road and Homebush Road at a T-junction. Homebush Road exits to the northeast and the road continues southwest as EtonâHomebush Road. [1] [4]
Leaving Homebush the road turns west and enters the northern part of Oakenden. Crossing Oakenden it runs northwest, southwest, west and northwest again before it enters Eton, where it meets the Peak Downs Highway at a T-junction. The road turns northeast and runs concurrent with the highway until it reaches the exit to MarianâEton Road. It continues northwest and then west as MarianâEton Road before reaching the exit to MiraniâEton Road to the west. Here it turns north before entering North Eton. Continuing north it passes the exit to North Eton Road to the east. [1] [4]
Next the road enters Marian where it turns northwest and then north again. In Marian it meets MackayâEungella Road at a T-junction. Here it turns east and runs concurrent with MackayâEungella Road until it reaches the exit to MarianâHampden Road, where it turns north and crosses the Pioneer River. It then enters Hampden and continues north to the Bruce Highway, where it ends. [1] [4]
The road is fully sealed to at least a two lane standard. [1] [4]
Sarina was originally known as Plane Creek, but took its present name from the Sarina Inlet which was in turn named after Sarina, the Greek mythological enchantress, by William Charles Borlase Wilson, a surveyor, some time before 1882. [5]
The name Homebush is taken from a pastoral run name used by John Walker in 1866. [6] Homebush Sugar Mill opened in 1883 and closed in 1922. [7]
Originally known as the Defiance, the North Eton Central Mill commenced crushing sugarcane in 1888. [8] It was the first sugar mill sponsored by the Queensland Government. In 1989, a number of sugar mills in the district merged to Mackay Sugar Limited, resulting in the closure of the North Eton mill. [9]
The town name Marian comes from the name of the (now closed) Marian railway station, which in turn reportedly derived its name from a local property called Mary Ann. [10] Marian sugar mill was built in 1885, later closed, and replaced by a new mill in 1894. Mackay Sugar operates the mill where over 2 million tonnes of sugar is crushed every year, making it one of the largest sugar mills in Australia. [11]
