MORVEN, QUEENSLAND

'Morven' is a town on the Warrego Highway, 89 kilometers east of Charleville and 665 kilometers west of Brisbane.
In 1859, a small area was taken from the property Victoria Downs and set aside for public use and designated on maps and documents as 'Victoria Downs Reserve'. It was on the mail route from Brisbane to Charleville. Later it became informally known as 'Sadlier's Waterhole' after Captain TJ Sadlier and his wife camped at the property. When officially surveyed in 1880 it was officially given the name Morven.
Nearby is the Tregole National Park.
