}}Dysart is a town and a locality in the Isaac Region, Queensland, Australia.[1][2] Dysart is a service centre for the nearby Norwich Park coal mine, which closed in 2012, the Saraji coal mine, and the Lake Vermont Coal Mine, as well as grazing properties in the district. Most residents are employed by the coal mines.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}} At the 2016 Census, Dysart had a population of 2,991.[3][4]

History

Dysart was established in 1973 to support the Saraji coal mine with the Post Office opening on 8 October 1973.[5] The name Dysart comes from the name of a pastoral run and a parish in the area; it means a retreat for monks and hence solitude in Irish Gaelic.[1]

Prussian explorer Ludwig Leichhardt explored the region in 1845 being the first European to do so. This included climbing to the summit of nearby Campbells Peak and allegedly building a stone cairn there.[6]

The closure of the Norwich Park Mine was expected to bring property prices down.[15] In August 2015, rental price for a three-bedroom home in Dysart starts at $130 a week.[12]
