State Coal Mine

The State Coal Mine, otherwise called State Coal Mine Heritage Area, is a previous twentieth century state-possessed dark coal mine situated in Wonthaggi, Victoria, Australia. The mine was operational from 1910 until 1968 and is currently a state stop and vacation spot. The coal stores at the site are assessed to be in excess of 150 million-years of age and the passages of the mine envelops about 5,000 kilometers, framing an underground ring around the town of Wonthaggi. The site is found adjoining the previous railroad line to Melbourne by means of Wonthaggi.
Ascending from its beginnings as a make move 'Tent Town', Wonthaggi rapidly developed to the flourishing town you know today. Operating from 1909 to 1968, the State Coal Mine delivered just about 17 million tons of coal for Victoria's enterprises and railroads. Today the region is worked by Parks Victoria and is open for the general population to investigate the legacy mine site. The State Coal Mine is the main memorable coal mine involvement in the Southern Hemisphere. The fascination offers guests an adventure back so as to find what life working in a coal mine resembled during the 1900s. It is an instructive affair, transcendently for families, to visit the underground system of passages and figure out how Victoria's men extricated the dark gold.
