Monto (including Cania Gorge National Park)
Gateway to the interesting Cania Gorge National Park.
Located 520 km from Brisbane via the Burnett Highway and 249 m above sea-level, Monto is a charming rural centre which is one of the newest towns in Capricornia, having come into existence as recently as 1924. This, however, was the culmination of European involvement in the area dating back to 1848 when Thomas Archer (one of the seven Archer brothers who did so much to open up Central Queensland) explored the area from his property at Cooyar. Later that year, with his brother Charles, Thomas Archer moved sheep into the area. At the same time Adolphus Henry Trevethan settled on the vast Rawbelle Station which spread over 1000 sq. miles.
