My first bike ride from Cairns city was to Yorkeys Knob some 38 years ago and I have been coming back ever since as it has so much to offer, a great beach, popular for Kite surfing, a marina and boat club and an 18 hole golf course and only a 15 minute drive to Cairns city. My children went to the kindy , one of the best there is. It has so much to offer and that is why people choose to live here and the name?
It has a large hill (also known as Knob) at the northern end of the beach and many years ago a well known Fisherman (nicknamed Yorkey) from Yorkshire , England lived on the hill, hence it became known at the time as Yorkey's hill then later renamed as a suburb to Yorkeys Knob
