Mount Jackson is a small, historic gold-mining town located in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, approximately 440 kilometers northeast of Perth. Established during the gold rush in the late 19th century, the area was once a thriving settlement with a population of several thousand. Today, Mount Jackson is a remote and largely abandoned locality, known for its rich heritage, including ruins of old buildings, mining relics, and the scenic Mount Jackson peak. The surrounding landscape features semi-arid plains and low hills, offering a glimpse into Western Australia's gold-mining past and its harsh, rugged outback environment.
