Calcium is a rural locality in the City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Calcium had a population of 12 people.[1]
Geography
[edit]Manton is a neighbourhood within the locality (19°39′00″S 146°50′00″E / 19.65°S 146.8333°E).[3]
There are a number of mountains in the locality:
- Brown Mountain at 600 metres (2,000 ft) above sea level (19°43′00″S 146°48′00″E / 19.7166°S 146.8°E)[4][5]
- Black Mountain at 418 metres (1,371 ft) above sea level (19°41′00″S 146°46′00″E / 19.6833°S 146.7666°E)[4][6]

History
[edit]The locality was named and bounded on 27 July 1991.[2] It was presumably named after the now-abandoned Calcium railway station (19°40′32″S 146°50′05″E / 19.6756°S 146.8348°E) on the Great Northern railway,[8] which had been named prior to 1914 after the calcium-bearing lime that was mined in the area.[9][10]
Manton takes its name from the now-abandoned Manton railway station (19°39′26″S 146°50′03″E / 19.6573°S 146.8341°E), which takes its name from a pioneer farmer.[3]
