Three Moon
Three Moon, about 6 km south of Monto, gives the district both its name and its founding legend - the tale of three moons seen at once that the silo art now tells. The railway reached Monto via Three Moon in 1928, and a small state school ran here from 1927 to 1948. Today it's a quiet rural locality with a big place in the local story.
