The county of Nares is a cadastral division of Queensland which contains the city of Cairns, Innisfail and most of the Atherton Tableland.[1] The county is divided into civil parishes. It was named after George Nares (1831–1915), a naval officer and commander of HMS Salamander.[2] Cairns is mentioned as being in the county of Nares in the 1911 Britannica.[3] It is bounded by the Daintree River in the north.[4]
