}}Mount Byron is a rural locality and a mountain in the Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia.[1][2]

The rugged terrain of the D'Aguilar Range in the east is protected within the D'Aguilar National Park. Mount Byron reaches elevations greater than 600 m above sea level. Lower elevations along Byron Creek, a tributary of the Stanley River, have been cleared of vegetation.

History

The locality takes its name from the mountain.[1] Brown & Broad operated a timber sawmill at Mount Byron around 1912.[3] By 1923 Raymond & Hossack were also operating a timber mill in the area.[4][5] Mining operations commenced in 1918.[6] Mount Byron State School opened on 29 May 1919 and closed on 17 January 1930.[7][8][9] A large bushfire occurred in October 1926.[10]
