MORVEN
Morven is your traditional ‘let's get
through this place’ hamlet that dots the countries major highways.
Morven deserves a more than cursory glance._small.JPG) 
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.
The Museum and footpaths display
innovation by its citizens that is both unique and fun. The fact these
are donations put on display a great level of community pride. The
other museum exhibits are also quite quirky.       
There is also a display of some of the
regions animal branding ‘brands’. Something different again.
The Morven Hotel is a nondescript
offer.
The Morven War Memorial is a
significant proposition that begs a deal of thought. The numbers of
those that served is very significant.
Morven has only one surviving church.
Morven is a small highway community
that deserves refreshment as a minimum
