Mount Garnet is the link between the Tablelands and Cairns to

the North and the Gulf of Carpentaria and Darwin to the West.

Tourists choose this town to take a rest and enjoy the magic of

the bush and its tropical, naturally air-conditioned climate at 700

metres over sea level. It is located within the local government

area of the Tablelands Regional Council in the far North of

Queensland, Australia. The old mining town became relevant

when the Swiss Albert Vollenweider discovered copper on a

slope of Garnet Hill in 1882. This is however the first web site

created in Mount Garnet to portray the place and its people.

The Mount Garnet Progress Association makes these pages

available for the community to give expression to any activity

considered worthwhile.
