Reviews of Mount Larcom, QLD
"Friendly quaint country town with highway convenience"
A clean, friendly historical though tiny town. All you need for a quiet country life, space, friendliness, shop, pub, cafe, PO, caravan/motel park, pool, tennis courts, school, police station, ambulance and hardware/feed shed. Great community spirit backed by locals who have lived and loved it here their whole life. Beautiful countryside now green and flourishing.

"Dry, Hot....Hell Anybody....?"
I'm sorry Mt Larcomers, I hate this place. I remember vividly being dragged to the Mt Larcom show as a kid and coming home to blow half an acre of dirt out of my nose. The dust was always unbearable. Visiting as an adult, my impression hasn't budged, I'm afraid. It's hot, tiny, full of small town 'tude and about 2 minutes from the little known suburb of 'If I lived here I'd have to kill myself.' There are some upsides, if you moved here, for instance, property would be fairly cheap and acreage available. Of course, why you'd want acres of this hole is beyond me, but to each their own. The actual mountain part of Mt Larcom is pretty though. I once scaled the monumental climb at 3am to watch the sunrise from the top.
Done :)

I often travel through Mt Larcom. A busy little stop off for travellers, especially on weekends for the park loos and the old pub! The publican knew a great investment opportunity there, heat and dirt makes for a good watering hole and guaranteed cash flow. Maybe one of the locals has a favourable comment to add.
