Suburb profile
Fossilbrook is a welcoming smaller community in Mareeba, with a settled community character. Far from the capital hubbub, it offers genuine distance, local character and room to live at a slower pace. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with a strong working population.
Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it. The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
