GeographyBlack 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.[2] The Flinders Highway passes through the northern part of the locality, while the Diamantina Road forms its eastern boundary.[2] Black Jack is approximately 350 metres above sea level rising to peaks in its south-west of 450 metres.[2] HistoryThe 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.[3] Black Jack Provisional School opened on 21 March 1887. It became Black Jack State School on 6 July 1891. It closed in 1949.[4] References1. ^{{cite QPN|44535|Black Jack|locality in Charters Towers Region|accessdate=24 July 2017}} 2. ^1 2 {{Queensland Globe|accessdate=24 July 2017}} 3. ^{{Citation|title=The Charters Towers gold mines : a descriptive and historical account of the town and gold field of Charters Towers, Queensland : with full and detailed particulars of the more important mines, and of all mining companies carrying on operations on the field : being a handbook of Charters Towers and a guide to mining investors|url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/19116829|publication-date=1892|author1=Marsland, L.
