Mount Britton is a historical township in Nebo Shire, Queensland, Australia. The township began in 1881 with the discovery of a gold field, and at its height had a population of 1500 inhabitants. Mount Britten Post Office opened on 1 June 1881 and closed in 1912. At the 2006 census, Mount Britton and the surrounding area had a population of 255. When alluvial and shallow reef gold diminished by the late 1880s, the town experienced a decline and was eventually abandoned. It currently exists as a historical site. Historical aspects of Mount Britton are recorded in Lyall Ford's book ''Below These Mountains: The Adventures of John Henry Mills Pioneer Photographer and Gold Miner''.〔(Below These Mountains ).
