Departing Cloncurry. This is a fully guided interpretive tour of the now abandoned Mary Kathleen uranium mine that was first discovered in 1954 and decommissioned in the early 80's
  • Light Afternoon Tea

Departure Point

34 Flinders Hwy, Cloncurry QLD 4824, Australia

  • Mary Kathleen, Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia
    Originally discovered in 1954 by Norm McConachy and Clem Walton, the Mary Kathleen Uranium Mine and Township were officially opened by Robert Menzies, Prime Minister of Australia and Frank Nicklin, Premier of Queensland in October 1958. In its heyday, the township had a population of 1,000 people and was situated 6 km from the working mine. The township had all the essentials that a population of that size needed - a post office, school, cinema, banks, hospital, supermarkets, swimming pool, sports grounds orchards and more. The uranium in Mary Kathleen mine was exhausted by 1981 and it was subsequently closed. Today we can still see the concrete slabs where the original buildings stood, remnants of the town’s layout and the mine itself. And if we listen carefully we may hear the distant voices of the residents as they weave through the trees on the breeze.

Craig the tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It was a really interesting tour and one I would definitely do again. The history of the settlement was really interesting. The mine itself was stunning and the color of the water brilliant. Afternoon tea was plentiful. Well worth doing.

It was interesting to see the remains of the Mary Kathleen township now only populated by free campers and cattle. The mine itself set in the rich red of the rocky landscape was reflected in the gem like blue greens of the water at the base of the open cut. Just stunning!
