Blair Athol Coal Mine
The first thing visitors to Clermont must do is book a place on one of the Blair Athol Coal Mine Tours which leave Clermont twice a week. Coal was first discovered at Blair Athol, which is located 22 kilometres north of Clermont in 1864. Through out the two and a half hour coal mine tour visitors will learn about the mine and how it is Australia’s largest exporter of thermal coal.
The tour is absolutely free and leaves Clermont on Tuesdays and Fridays at 8.45 a.m. and returns at 1.00 p.m. during the off season. The tour leaves from the Tourist Office in Capella Street and is approximately three and a half hours long.
The tour also visits the Clermont Museum, and through the township of Clermont with commentary on the historical Sites in the region and re-telling the tragic tale of the 1916 flood that claimed 65 lives. The tour ends at the Copperfield Store and Chimney where visitors can learn about a town that once was.
