Middlemount suburb profile

Middlemount is a purpose-built mining town in central Queensland's Bowen Basin, set amid open bushland and grazing country and serving as a service and residential hub for nearby coal operations. The town has a compact centre with supermarkets, shops, healthcare and community facilities, plus sporting grounds and recreational amenities that keep local life focused on outdoor activity and club sport.
