Community Involvement
In 1883 an unusual accident at the hotel was reported:
"A singular explosion is reported to have occurred at Clunes. Tho contents of a building used by a pyrotechnist were being removed to the premises of the National Hotel, and among them was a cigar box apparently empty. Mrs. Bliaux, wife of the landlord, was carrying this when it suddenly exploded in her hand with a loud report. Three sheets of corrugated iron ware completely lifted off the kitchen roof, and Mrs. Bliaux was burnt about her hands, arms, and neck. Fortunately her face was missed. The box, it is believed, contained particles of glycerine."[1]
