Blair Athol, Queensland

Blair Athol is a former town within Clermont in the Isaac Region, Queensland, Australia.

[2] By 1873, early shafts were dug, revealing extensive seams of coal.

At that time, around 100 people were living in the town and there was a hotel, although no township had been officially surveyed.

[4] Blair Athol Provisional School opened on 6 November 1893.

In order to construct an open cut mine, the town had to be sacrificed.
