Mount Garnet has a population of around 400, which expands when the mines are in full production. This will happen again soon, as the price of tin has increased on the world market. The mines produce tin, zinc, copper, lead, silver and garnets. The existing main mine was bought by Consolidated Tin Mines, which is an Australian company with strong Chinese investment, which will be mining tin in the near future. Mount Garnet Tin Resources have a tin processing plant there called Mt. Veteran, which processes ore from surrounding areas. Mining isn't the only industry at Mount Garnet, some of the best cattle producing properties are in the district. Crops of mangoes, corn and other crops are grown on the nearby Herbert River. Blenco Falls on the Herbert River can be accessed from many of these cattle properties. In the 1930s several cattle stations were established within the community as well as farms that grew many crops, including tobacco, potatoes, corn and peanuts. Various mining operations, as well as lime production, are in operation today just outside the town. Not far from the base of Garnet Hill on the south east side is Warruma Swamp. This wetland Advertising is home to many variety of birds. Originally Warruma was a swamp and boasted a water source that never ran dry. Now it is used for a water supply to the township. Fresh water is continually pumped from the Herbert River into Warruma, then pumped out of there into holding tanks for the town supply. Transport comes in the form of semi's and trucks. Being the 'Gateway to the Coast' and 'Gateway to the Gulf', this section of the Kennedy Highway is quite busy, particularly when the Bruce Highway is closed from flooding.
