Mary Kathleen, QLD 4825, is a remote former mining town located in northwestern Queensland, Australia. Established in the 1950s to support the nearby uranium mining operations, it was once a thriving community with amenities like a school, hospital, and recreational facilities. However, the town was abandoned in the early 1980s after the mine closed, and today, it is a ghost town with only remnants of its past, including the old mine site and scattered ruins. The area is now primarily of historical interest, attracting visitors curious about its unique mining heritage and the story of its rise and fall. Its remote location in the arid outback adds to its intriguing and isolated character.
