Newmarket: 5km north-west, originally known as The THicks Real Estate Mile Scrub due to its distance from the city, it was named when new cattle saleyards (1877-1931) were opened at the corner of Enoggera and Newmarket roads, replacing the older yards between Roma and Albert streets.

From John Mathew’s “Highways and Byways”… Melton Terrace, Melton Hill. Shown as Cleveland Street on the first survey plan of the city. The name was changed to Melton Terrace in 1969. Melton Hill, Melton Street, Melton Lane, and Melton Black Drive were all named in honor of John Melton Black, one of the founders of Townsville, and whose home was built on the crest of Melton Hill. The name Melton Hill was used at the first land sale, of Townsville land, held in Bowen in 1865. Melton Street has now merged into Willmett Street and Melton Lane is now the present day Herbert street. Source: s0.whitepages.com.au/aebf45b8-75f4-421f-813a-83a14f1a2ad1...

Mount Isa is a small city located in northwest Queensland, Australia. Payable silver-lead ore was discovered in late 1923, which led to the formation of mining companies, with Mount Isa Mines becoming the sole company two years later. To support the company, the Queensland government surveyed a town site on the opposite bank of the Leichhardt River. However once the British company Russo-Asiatic acquired a controlling interest, Mount Isa Mines built its own town on a scale and form unprecedented in Australian mining. Isa Mines was a company town with its own stores, bank and recreational facilities. It was initially named Isa Mines to distinguish it from the incorporated town of Mount Isa, though over time the two settlements became known as Mineside and Townside. During the late 1940s and early 1950s with the price of lead at a record high, the Isa Mines settlement was extended with further housing and facilities.
