One of the youngest towns in Queensland,Moranbah is located in the Isaac Region, on the Peak Downs Highway between Mackay andClermont. Founded as a coal-mining town servicing several mines in the area, it has become a hub of the region with just under ten thousand residents and a substantial fly-in fly-out population.
While you’re in the area, there’s many smaller towns to explore a bit further afield: Mount Coolon has some lovely heritage-listed buildings and an outback pub, and Nebo has a museum that celebrates over a hundred years of history from the gold rush days onwards.
The Isaac region is full of surprises, and Moranbah is a perfect place to start your adventure.
