Cemetery

On a recent road trip to Mount Mulligan we stopped off to look at Thornborough Cemetery. I love the intricate design on this old headstone we found there.

Thornborough was an old mining town; which is now abandoned but it used to be known as the capital of Far North Queensland and was home to 1500 people and 22 hotels.




Thornborough is a town and locality in Shire of Mareeba in Queensland, Australia. It rose to prominence in the 1870s as a gold mining town in the Hodgkinson Minerals Area.

Today, there are very few buildings remaining in the town.
