Download coordinates as: Marlborough is a rural town and coastal locality in the Livingstone Shire, Queensland, Australia.

[1] The town lies on the Bruce Highway, 106 kilometres (66 mi) north west of the city of Rockhampton.

The town is a small service centre for the surrounding area, and one of a number of fuelling points on an otherwise isolated stretch of highway.

[citation needed] To the south lies the Kunwarara Magnesite mine, which works one of the world's largest supplies of the mineral.

[citation needed] Marlborough is famous for producing the world's finest chrysoprase, a semi-precious gem once coveted by Alexander the Great and Cleopatra.

The small but high-grade deposit is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-south-west of the township and is universally regarded as the most valuable find in the world.

[citation needed] The Bruce Highway passes through the locality, entering from the east (Kunwarara) and exiting to the north-west (Ogmore), bypassing the town approx 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the west.
