Why Did Everyone Leave This Town Behind?

Mt Britton — an abandoned gold mining town hidden in the Central Queensland bush… and we had the whole place completely to ourselves 👀 What was once a booming gold town is now mostly forgotten — but you can still feel the history everywhere. We explore the remains of this forgotten gold rush town and show you what it’s really like camping at Mt Britton today. ⛏️ Old gold mining history 🏕️ Camping surrounded by mountains 🚐 Completely off-grid 👀 No one else around We came for the free camping… but left fascinated by the story of this place.
