Clermont sits beside Sandy Creek in central Queensland, Australia, where open grazing country meets the western approaches to the Peak Downs. Gold was discovered nearby in 1861, and the ensuing rush gave rise to Clermont as an inland mining settlement. That legacy remains central to the town’s identity, while cattle grazing and coal mining shape the wider district’s economy. Clermont also remembers the devastating flood of 1916, which brought major changes to the town. Browse other webcams across central Queensland to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
