Mount Morgan Mine, Historic copper and gold mine in Queensland, Australia
The Mount Morgan mine contains excavation structures, processing facilities, and administrative buildings spread across a substantial industrial complex in central Queensland.
Between 1882 and 1981, the Mount Morgan mine produced 262 metric tons of gold, 37 metric tons of silver, and 387,000 metric tons of copper.
The mining complex shaped the development of Queensland, leading to the establishment of the town of Mount Morgan and supporting thousands of mining families.
The Queensland Heritage Register site offers guided tours of the mining infrastructure, including the General Office, Gold Rooms, and observation points.
The profits from Mount Morgan mine funded the creation of two major institutions: BP (former Anglo-Persian Oil Company) and the Walter and Eliza Hall Medical Research Institute.
