Wonthaggi State Coal Mine

Mine Sharft

Skip line

A visit back home to Wonthaggi recently saw us call into the state coal mine to have a look as there is a family connection to the Wonthaggi coal mines. My husband has childhood memories of time spent at the mines with his father, as well as his father, three uncles and his grandfather also worked in the mines. We took a lot of photo's of the mine memorabilia, it seemed to me to be such a shame to see relics from the mine era rusting and decaying away.
