Surveyed in 1902 ……… after tin was first found here ……… Smith then worked out some rich ground and the town was first called Smith's Creek. ………
At the time of survey the town had two hotels ……… At this time the house of the Manager of the Smith Creek Co had a house valued at ……… more than the combined value of all the hotels and shops in town ……… Smiths Creek mine produced 1500 tons of ore between 1903 and 1909 and the battery remains are still evident ……… ……… In 1902 the railway line from Lappa Junction on the Cairns-Chillagoe line reached Nymbool on its way to Mount Garnet…. This line closed in 1961 and was dismantled ………
The feature story tells how the Mt Garnet station ringers,on one riotous post muster blow out, turned the tables on the local policeman
