Mount Morgan - Fast Facts

Mount Morgan
An attractive and unusual historic mining town.
Located 679 km north of Brisbane, 38 km west of Rockhampton and 240 m above sea-level, Mount Morgan must surely be the most charming mining town in Australia. Rising and falling over the hills and valleys, Mt Morgan is full of wooden houses and a history reaching back to the late 19th century.

There is something wonderfully eccentric about Mount Morgan. Its huge timber pubs (the Q N or Queensland National - now, sadly, no longer a hotel - is a real joy), the relics of mining in the median strips (outside the museum there is a railway signal and some railway lines from the rack railway, while, around the corner, there is a steam engine, an old lamp and some dray wheels). It is genuinely very friendly and has the feeling of a country town in the 1940s or 1950s.
