Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Mount Morgan is a town and locality in Rockhampton Region, Queensland. It is situated on the Dee River, 38 km south of the city of Rockhampton, and 680 km north of the state capital, Brisbane. The Burnett Highway passes through the town.
Mount Morgan was founded on Kangulu tribal lands as a gold mining town in 1882, and over time the Mount Morgan Mines has produced gold, silver and copper. The town of Mount Morgan grew in a haphazard fashion around the entrance to the mining lease near the Dee River from the early 1880s. The railway link between Mount Morgan and Rockhampton was not built until 1898. Until that time, everything was transported by horse team. The area was host to one of the few rack railways (as part of the line from Mount Morgan to Rockhampton) to operate in Australia. The rack portion of the line was replaced by a conventional adhesion railway in the 1950s. In turn, the replacement line was closed in 1987, and the town no longer has a rail connection. The Mount Morgan Railway Station is still standing and now operates as a Museum and Tourist Information Centre.
