We drove through Clermont on our way to Theresa Creek Dam - about 110 kilometres north of Emerald in outback Queensland. The caravan park looked like a very nice place to stay and there are a couple of pubs in town that seem popular.
The streets are wide with plenty of spots to park the caravan or simply turn the van around. Clermont is one of the most historic towns in northern Australia and has a very interesting history - mining (gold rushes and copper mines), timber, shearers, stockmen and squatters.
Theresa Creek Dam, located 22 kilometres from town, offers great fishing, stocked with Barramundi etc., and redclaw are in abundance - a beautiful spot to stay overnight in the caravan. Surrounding Clermont are vast grazing and grain growing properties as well as the Clermont Coal Mine. Clermont also has a great golf course, lawn bowling club, sporting clubs, hotels, restaurants and a variety of shops in the main street.
