(March 1897)
Frederick Augustus Morgan (20 June 1837 – 8 November 1894) was an Australian publican and mining investor,[1] co-discoverer of the Mount Morgan Mine.[2]
Morgan was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, spent his boyhood in Bathurst, New South Wales, and commenced life as a digger by joining with his uncle, John Woodward, who made the discovery which led to the Ophir, New South Wales rush, in 1851. 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.
