MOUNT
GARNET AND THE OUTBACK
Mount
Garnet is
described as the
stopover to the outback. Tourists
choose this town to take a rest and enjoy the magic of the bush and its
pleasant, naturally air-conditioned climate at 700 metres
over sea-level. Mount Garnet is located within the newly (2008)
established local government area of the Tablelands Regional Council in
the far north of Queensland, Australia.
Over 64,000
documents are found in the Internet when Mount Garnet
or its 'Mt
Garnet' simplified form are searched and that is an
indication of the relevance of this old mining town, since the Swiss
Albert
Vollenweider discovered copper on a slope of Garnet Hill in 1882.
This is however the first web
site made in Mount Garnet, to portray this place and its
people.
The Mount Garnet Progress Association
makes
these pages available to the community to give expression to any
activity considered
worthwhile.
Please
get in touch
with us, let us know of any announcements
that need to be published and also what you think of these pages
and/or suggestions for any improvement.
