Visit the Cloncurry / Mary Kathleen Memorial Park - the old Town Office building, houses memorabilia from the Mary Kathleen Uranium Mine and Township as well as local history and photographs.

The showpiece is Robert O'Hara Burkes (Burke and Wills fame) water bottle, along with the history and photographs.  See the Rock and Mineral display, which, is ranked by experts to be one of the most comprehensive in Australia.

The historic Police Station was previously at Oona and then Dobbyn (old mining towns in the early part of the 20th Century); the building was moved and renovated again for use as a Police Station at Mary Kathleen,  After the town closed, the building was moved to the Cloncurry/Mary Kathleen Memorial Park, where it now services as a kiosk, souvenir shop and Tourist Information Centre, where you can also obtain Fossickers Licences and mud maps.

Displays in the Outdoor Museum at the park include steam engines, a traction engine, farm and mining machinery.  The Park also features public amenities, a lovely picnic barbecue area. Then follow the path to the lookout with spectacular views of Cloncurry.
