Travel Tips

Once you've found it, immediately look to find the best way out of it!

It's SMALL and, unless you're there to earn some decent money for a while in the mines, there's nothing much to do but drink - hell, even if you're there for the money there's nothing much to do but drink!

If I haven't already lured you to this lovely place, did I mention that it's HOT - damn HOT!

But, luckily, humans are very adaptive and we all have our own view of things, so I'm sure there must be someone who actually likes Blackwater.....

Yes. It is in central Qld, and you'll find the exact location by going to http://maps.google.com.au/ and typing in "blackwater, qld". It's roughly 300+ kms west of Gladstone.
Blackwater is a unique town situated on the Capricorn Highway, west of Rockhampton, approx population of 4,900.
It is known as the coal capital of Queensland and was built to service the Blackwater Coal Mine.
The Blackwater Open Cut Mine produces six million tonnes of coking coal and up to four million tonnes of steaming coal each year.
The coking coal is exported to Japan, Italy, the UK, Holland, France, Spain, Greece, Chile and many other countries, while the steaming coal produced is used for power generation within Queensland.
