Mary Kathleens uranium town still had 212 homes when its mine closed in 1982; the company settlement was dismantled and auctioned off in 1983

Mary Kathleen was once a thriving community centered around a uranium mine in Queensland, complete with schools, a cinema, and numerous homes. Following the mine's closure in 1982, the town was meticulously dismantled, with houses moved to other locations, leaving only remnants of foundations and streets. Today, the area has been transformed into a popular tourist destination, featuring a rehabilitated mine that tells its unique history.
