Blackwater is a unique town situated on the Capricorn Highway. It is known as the coal capital of Queensland and was built to service the Blackwater Coal Mine. Tours of the mine can be held every Wednesday from 1000 hours starting at the mine site, 20 kilometres south of the Town.
Blackwater is well-serviced with hotels, motels, clubs, shopping facilities and recreational venues. Just 55 kilometres from the Town is the spectacular Blackdown Tableland National Park. Here crystal clear creeks trickle through magnificent gorges.
