Mt. Morgan is a town we visited several years ago in Queensland, Australia. From memory it was a hilly place and once a gold mining town. In 1882 the mine produced gold, silver and copper. Among those making a fortune from this mine was William Knox D'Arcy who used his fortune to finance oil exploration in Iran, which led to the formation of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (now BP) in various locations in this world.
Mt. Morgan mine closed in 1990.
Mt. Morgan is 38 km (24 mile) south of the city of Rockhampton, and 680 km (420 mile) north of the state capital Brisbane in Queensland.

The Toilets in the main street. I do like the mural, and it can be seen more clearly if enlarged, just click on it.
Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The original one was built in 1889 then years later was demolished, and a new one built in 2004

The Post Office opened on May 18,1884, then of course rebuilt later.
Queensland National Hotel which was built in 1889, one of Mt. Morgan's original 27 hotels. The two-story structure is heritage listed now. the tower at the top of the building was used as a lookout during WW11, to spot enemy planes. It is now used as a private residence.
Mt. Morgan is inland and south of Rockhampton in Queensland, the map shows the area with the red dashes around it and of course the area is larger than the map shows.
