Mount Britton

Mount Britton is situated in Nebo Shire approximately 92 kilometres west of Mackay.

Mount Britton was founded in 1880 when a tent city for gold mining sprung up on the banks of Oxley Creek and the township became known as Mount Britton.

Today Mount Britton still holds evidence of this once prosperous mining town, with many old mining equipment and materials still on site. Some say the main reef has not been struck and that if found it could yield some excellent specimens that would pay considerably, prospectors are today still lured to Mount Britton by the thought of undiscovered gold.

On-site at Mount Britton are information boards that detail the areas history. Gold mining tours and an interpretative centre are available at Mount Briton.
