Black Jack is a locality in the Charters Towers Region, Queensland, Australia.[1] It was formerly a mining town which is now abandoned.
Geography[edit]
Black Jack is a triangular-shaped locality. The Great Northern railway line forms the northern boundary of Black Jack. There are two railway stations within the locality, Wellington Yards railway station in the far north-east corner (on the outskirts of the suburban area of Charters Towers) and Southern Cross railway station on its north-west border.[2]
The Flinders Highway passes through the northern part of the locality, while the Diamantina Road forms its eastern boundary.[2]
Black Jack is approximately 350 metres above sea level rising to peaks in its south-west of 450 metres.[2]
History[edit]
The Black Jack P. C. mine produced large quantities of gold in 1886 and 1887 (known as the Black Jack Boom) but then produced very little in subsequent years.[3]
Black Jack Provisional School opened on 21 March 1887. It became Black Jack State School on 6 July 1891. It closed in 1949.[4]
