Geography

Black Jack is a triangular-shaped locality. The Great Northern railway line forms the northern boundary of Black Jack. There are two railway stations within the locality, Wellington Yards railway station in the far north-east corner (on the outskirts of the suburban area of Charters Towers) and Southern Cross railway station on its north-west border.[3]

The Flinders Highway passes through the northern part of the locality, while the Diamantina Road forms its eastern boundary.[3]

Black Jack is approximately 350 metres (1,150 ft) above sea level rising to peaks in its south-west of 450 metres (1,480 ft).[3]

History

The Black Jack P. C. mine produced large quantities of gold in 1886 and 1887 (known as the Black Jack Boom) but then produced very little in subsequent years.[4]

Black Jack Provisional School opened on 21 March 1887. It became Black Jack State School on 6 July 1891. It closed in 1949.[5] It was north of the Butler Blocks Mine to the east of Diamantina Road (approx 20°08′10″S 146°13′06″E / 20.1362°S 146.2182°E / -20.1362; 146.2182 (Black Jack State School (former))), now within the neighbouring locality of Broughton.[6][7]
