Abstract

The mining industry in 19th-early 20th Century Queensland boosted population inland and created infrastructure such as towns, roads and railways. These mining fields declined following the First World War, creating many abandoned towns. This article describes what might be left on these towns and uses the lead-copper mining town of Mungana, near Chillagoe, as a case study.
