As a part of the launch we were offered, and I took, the opportunity of a quick tour of the coal mine. Our guide, Jack Fleming, was a sprightly 81 years old and lead us deep into the underworld. Just travelling down to the first coal seam and back was exhausting and a very small taster of the atrocious living conditions miners had to put up with in this place.
If you are ever in Wonthaggi, a tour of the state coal mine is an absolute must.
