About Mount Isa Underground Hospital & Museum
Mount Isa Underground Hospital & Museum is a things to do venue in Mornington, Queensland.
After the bombing of Darwin in 1942, there was a real fear that Mount Isa with its rich mineral resources would be next. This prompted a discussion between the then regional District Hospital Director and Superintendent of the mines.
Their idea for an Underground Hospital quickly became a reality, carved into the hills near the base of the regional hospital. It was designed by Edward J Ryan and built from March to April 1942 by Mount Isa Mines.
It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 24 June 1999.
