John Brewer Reef lies about 70 kilometers (43 miles) offshore from Townsville, Queensland, Australia, and measures 6.1 by 2.8 kilometers. It is named for the troop ship John Brewer, which sailed from Sydney for India on 16 June 1842 alongside the ships Kelso and Arab, carrying 26 officers and 700 men of the 28th Regiment of Foot. On 30 June 1842 the three ships ran aground on reefs northeast of Palm Island.
