"A great place for semi-retired trades people"
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.
Who lives here?
- Families with kids
- Retirees
totaly agree, just spent 2 nights there and was told to leave by police for our safety, WARNING TO ALL STAY AWAY FROM MT MORGAN
That has to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Before moving to Mount Morgan I lived on the Sunshine Coast. We had more people be nice, hold a conversation and just nod and smile in the 2.5 days we were in town looking for property, than in 2 years living on the Sunshine Coast.
The people are just plain nice. The feeling of the township is warm and accepting. It felt like home.
Just like anywhere you go there are bad people and good people. I don't know what you encountered in the Mount to be so negative, but you have obviously had a far different experience than I have and I have been living here for 8 months. My neighbors are wonderful, the shop keepers, hospital staff and 99.9% of all the people I have met in town have been friendly and decent people.
Warm and friendly atmosphere, I'd much rather live and invest on the Mountain than anywhere on the coast thank you very much! If you rent a house out without going through an agent, which is what I presume has happened, then no matter where it is you invest, chances are you will have problems, hillbilly tenants exist everywhere. I'm not a stirer and Mount Morgan police have never told me to leave.
2nd miss locals comment.
HI Mount Morgan is the ass of the world driving out of there was a big relief
the people there are so much unfriendly and if your a dummy and rent your house to the hillbillys living there you will not get your rent money and you will get your house trashed :{{ . The best thing i ever did was get out of that place.
