Middlemount is 242 kilometres (150 miles) inland from popular tourist regions like Mackay as well as Rockhampton. It is a coal-mining town with three mines: Foxleigh, German Creek, and the world's largest underground coal mine called Grasstree.
Middlemount, like so many other Queensland mining towns, sprang out of nowhere in the early 1980s. The Middlemount Post Office first opened its doors to the public on June 2nd in 1980. Middlemount State School first opened back in 1980, and a secondary school was added in 1983. Middlemount State High School was founded in 1988 when the secondary school was split from the elementary school. Anglo Coal owns the majority of the homes. Some of this town's infrastructure is operated and maintained by the corporation. The majority of the houses are nearly identical; nevertheless, there are 3 sorts of houses you will see when driving around the neighbourhood: lowset square, lowset L-shaped, and highest. Middlemount is also a great place to head if you would like a quiet small-town environment to work. You can head over on a family trip too.
