Mount Morgan, also known as the Golden Mountain, is steeped in history as it was one of the world’s most productive gold mines in Central Queensland’s charming hinterland. Commencing operation in 1882, the mine became one of the richest gold mines in Australia, and for a period of time - the world.  The town offers ideal opportunities to delve into the area’s early successes and relive its fascinating past with a range of impressive attractions on show, along with museums operating 7 days. There is so much to see and do in the town and region, so come and enjoy some true Queensland country hospitality. Activities to add to the enjoyment of your stay may include fossicking, cycling, walking, photography, golf, bowls, the historic museum, bird watching, swimming and fishing. Some of the great activities you can enjoy whilst staying in Mt Morgan. Make us your base and spend a week or two enjoying what this amazing area has to offer. Being only 40k from Rockhampton there is  also plenty to do and see without staying in the hussle and bussle of the busy city.
