Frederick Augustus Morgan

After working with success there and at Golden Point, Victoria and Golden Valley, he migrated to Warwick, Queensland, in 1866, and engaged in mining at Thanes' Creek, and tinning at Stanthorpe, and was successful.

Morgan reached Rockhampton, Queensland, in December 1879, and, after some prospecting, opened the Gallawa reef, near Mount Wheeler, and worked it for some years.

He was then joined by his brothers—Thomas Squire Morgan, and Edwin Francis Morgan—and with them formed a prospecting party, which resulted in the discovery of Mount Morgan—the richest gold mine in the world at the time.

[2] Morgan, who was largely interested in pastoral properties, was an Alderman of Rockhampton, and was prominently identified with local affairs in that town.

[1] Morgan died in Rockhampton, Queensland, on 8 November 1894, survived by his wife and one son.
