Mary Kathleen, Queensland — How an Entire Australian Town Was Sold at Auction

#AustralianHistory #HistoryDocumentary #Documentary Discover the extraordinary story of Mary Kathleen, Queensland — a model mining town built in the Australian outback for uranium, abandoned twice, and finally sold piece by piece at auction. In this documentary, we explore how a radioactive discovery in 1954 led to the construction of an entire planned town, complete with curved streets, green lawns, a school, hospital, swimming pool, and open-air cinema — all created around a single uranium mine. Why was Mary Kathleen built in the middle of nowhere? How did Cold War uranium contracts bring the town to life twice? And why, in 1983, were its houses, church, school, and public buildings sold off and physically carried away? This is a story of uranium, ambition, abandonment, and erasure — the story of the Australian town that was sold at auction and disappeared. #MaryKathleen #Queensland #AustralianHistory #UraniumMining #GhostTown #MiningHistory #OutbackAustralia #HistoryDocumentary #Australia #Documentary
