Mount Morgan, QLD 4714

I’ve recently purchased in mount morgan and been up there a number of times. The first time I went up there on a Friday night and drank at the local pub on the Main Street where I was sure I would learn very quickly what the people were like.

Probably nearly the most friendly community I’ve ever visited. Everyone was polite, there were no fights or things of that nature. Through the day time it’s exactly the same. People walk around a lot as everything is close by and it has all the facilities you would require to probably not have to drive down the mountain if you didn’t need to.

Also the two pubs I spent a bit of time at both have world class steak for good prices. Some of the best steaks I’ve had are from mount morgan.

Whoever is writing these bad reviews just completely ignore it I’ve lived all over the country and it has one of the nicest country town feels I’ve ever come across.

I have lived in Mount Morgan for several years now and must say that it has been one of the nicest places I've lived. The people are friendly. There are shops, hospital, doctors surgeries, chemist, schools and all the other modern conveniences that you will find in a much larger town without the traffic and noise of a big city.

25 mins from Rocky, 4 degrees cooler and houses are half the price.... stop paying the bank all your hard-earned $$ and save $ for your overseas trip! The Mount has all the facilities you need and ideal for those who appreciate our history and heritage. I've driven the inland highway from Brisbane to Rocky looking at other regional towns and I believe the Mount is the best on offer. The dam is perfect for swimming or boating and with so many hills around, there is a view on nearly every corner. As with any place, all kinds of people live there.... teachers, sales people, artists, cooks, business owners, retirees... Its an interesting and affordable place to live.

After living in Mount Morgan for 9 years, we find the people very friendly and plenty of activities to keep any retired person busy. There are 2 bowls clubs, card games, hoy, bingo, community dances, all sports facilities, council swimming pool, just to name a few regular daily activities. You can drive without the worry of parking metres or finding a parking space or traffic lights.. Mt Morgan has 2 doctors surgeries, hospital, fire station, ambulance, nursing home, primary and high schools, SES, local police station, nursing home, QCWA for women, Masonic lodges and Buffalo Lodge for men, golf club and tennis and squash court. All this for a population of around 3,000. Mt Morgan is Queensland's well kept secret and is an ideal quiet peaceful little town enjoyed by many retirees. The crime rate is also low, and people can feel safe without locking themselves inside their homes at night or locking cars. There is also a glorious recreation area and dam stocked with fresh water fish for fishing, plus boating facilities.

Great place to bring up children. You can purchase a house or large block of land at a very reasonable price. Weather is nicer than Rockhampton, not so humid. Lots of very nice residents both long term and newly arrived. The schools are really good and wonderful health facilities. Yes there are some people who are inconsiderate and don't respect the laws and other people's rights - no different to other places. There are many community activities if that is your thing and we enjoyed the time we lived there.

This is a small heritage-type village in the mountains 1/2 hour from Rockhampton and another 1/2 from the Capricorn Coast. It is an ex-gold-mining town, and it is suggested that the mine will be re-opening in the next couple of years. There is a lot of industry within an hour's drive, but the homes are inexpensive and there are very few trades people in Mount Morgan. So it would be an ideal place for someone who wants to only work part-time or who wants to be semi-retired.
