About

Opened in 2008, the Blackwater International Coal Centre is a platform for showcasing the Australian Coal Industry to the world. The Centre incorporates an interactive Interpretive Centre -- a collection of exhibits that delve into the past, present and future of mining.

Step back in time with video memoirs of Bowen Basin residents and early coal mining pioneers. Listen to the stories of yesteryear and learn how the mining industry once worked. Discover how coal deposits were formed over millions of years.

Learn about the different methods of coal mining with intricate 3D models. Watch the entire open-cut mining process on a massive theatre screen, or take a simulated ride in a dragline, coal hauler, tug boat or ship loader. See things from a global perspective using the amazing interactive globe.

Explore the future of coal mining and clean coal technology via interactive activities and video presentations.

The facility offers guided mine tours every weekday, incorporates Japanese Gardens, 3D cinema and features mining machinery on display.

Visitors can get up close to a real dump truck, stand inside big dragline buckets or relax with a bite to eat on the cafe deck.

Consider taking a guided mine tour run from the Blackwater International Coal Centre. You'll be amazed at the scale of the massive machines. See a dragline as high as a 20-story building in action. Learn about the completely mining process, from pre-strip, excavation and processing to transportation of the final coal products, by one of our safety-trained tour guides. Tours depart weekdays at 1:00pm, dependent on weather. Closed-toe shoes are required.
