Blackwater, QLD

Blackwater, in Queensland’s Central Highlands, owes its name not to the black gold (coal) in the region, but to a natural tea-tree which blackened the water in the local billabongs.

The town has a couple of hotels and clubs, a shopping centre, a swimming pool and many sporting facilities.

The purpose-built town main aim is to support the coal mining operations nearby. A short drive away lies the stunning Blackdown Tableland National Park. Blackdown has beautiful rainforest, waterfalls and creeks and some great views of the surrouding area.
