Blackwater was established on the traditional territory of the Kanolu people, and these days is a significant area in Australia's coal mining industry. If you're interested in finding out more about the coal mining industry and the vital role it has played in the local area, your first stop in Blackwater - after a little delicious Blackwater Pizza from Pizza Hut, of course - should be the Blackwater International Coal Centre on the Capricorn Highway, with interactive museum exhibits and the opportunity to book a coal mine tour on offer. Relax afterwards in the beautiful Japanese Gardens, built to commemorate our relationship with our sister city Fujisawa in Japan. While you're thinking internationally, head on down to Lions Park and see how many of the 37 flags on display you can name. Why 37 flags? They're to mark the nationality of everyone who's ever worked the local coalfields. Head to the South-East from town and you'll find the Blackdown Tableland National Park where you can take in stunning bushland walks as well as Australia's unique flora and fauna. Whether you're just passing through town, or you're enjoying a holiday off the beaten track, or you're a local with a hunger for piping-hot pizza, we'd love to serve you at our Blackwater Pizza Hut store.
