Bloomfield is a town and a locality which is split between the Shire of Cook and the Shire of Douglas in Queensland, Australia. In the 2011 census, Bloomfield had a population of 403 people.
The locality of Bloomfield is geographically divided into a northern section in the Shire of Cook and a southern section in the Shire of Douglas. The narrow boundary between the two sections is about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) in width and follows a creek (a tributary of the Bloomfield River). Just north of the river, following the road, there's a small supermarket at Ayton and soon after there is the turn-off to reach the unspoilt beach of Weary Bay. Since you are in crocodile territory, it's not a good idea to go for a swim, though!
The town and locality are named after the Bloomfield River.
Prior to the deamalgamation of Shire of Douglas on 1 January 2014, Bloomfield was split between Shire of Cook and Cairns Region.
