25.01.2022 Fitzroy Australia Resources recently opened its Carborough Downs underground mine near Moranbah to more than 800 employee family members the first time the mi...ne has been opened up to members outside the sector. This short video captures the essence of the days. We were blown away with the response, with family members travelling from as far as New Zealand donning the high-vis and safety gear to go underground in a drift runner and tour the workshops, warehouse and coal-handling plant. While we are on a journey to become the next Great Australian Mining House; we are a people business that mines coal. We were thrilled to welcome the families of our employees to see where their mums, dads, sons and daughters come to work, and how we care for one another. As part of the festivities, children enjoyed jumping castles, fairy floss, popcorn, and a colouring competition, and were presented with their very own Fitzroy high-vis work shirt, embroidered with their names, just like mum or dad. #FitzroyAustraliaResources #CoalMining #FamilyDay #Fairyfloss

22.01.2022 On 24 July 1991 three mineworkers were tragically killed underground at South Bulli following an outburst. The investigation report found that the outburst mana...gement plan had not been properly implemented was poor qualilty. July has a deadly history of mining disasters, each a testament to the hazards faced by mineworkers every day at work.

21.01.2022 Today is the anniversary of the Appin mine disaster. At 11pm on the 24 July 1979, a methane gas explosion occurred underground. Fourteen men were killed and the... judicial inquiry that was held led to the imposition of stricter safety rules for all coal mines in NSW. Automatic gas monitoring devices had to be installed thereafter, each mine needed to have a ventilation officer, and the number of mine inspectors was also increased. See more

18.01.2022 Friday 20th of December 1968 was the last time contract miners worked Mt Kembla Pit by hand - truly THE END OF AN ERA. There are some amazing scenes in this ...short documentary produced by Australian Iron and Steel (AIS) and it remains a fantastic local history record. Norm Swan and Reg Stone are named in the film but can you name any of the other workers or pit ponies? Mt Kembla Colliery at Kembla Heights began as the Mount Kembla Coal and Oil Company which produced its first shipment of coal in February 1883. It is remembered for the Mt Kembla Mine disaster in 1902 where tragically 96 men and boys were to loose their lives (Australias worst ever industrial accident), but many others also died in accidents throughout the life of the mine. The company was taken over by Mount Kembla Collieries Ltd in 1913 who operated it until 1 July 1946 when AIS became the owners. Mt Kembla mine was the first colliery to use mechanical coal cutters; in 1968 the hand worked contract method of mining was replaced by a mechanised system using rubber tyred front-end loaders but was uneconomical. It closed for good in 1970 having yielded 14 million tons of coal. Today the site of the Mt Kembla Colliery is a protected Heritage Conservation Area managed by the Department of Environment and Heritage (NPWS) and continues to be an important, significant historical place. Locally heritage listed by Wollongong City Council in 1990, it was nominated for the NSW State Heritage Register in 2011. Thanks to John Stafford for the reminder to share this important piece of local history.

01.01.2022 TAKE A MOMENT TODAY TO REMEMBER THE 96 LIVES LOST IN 1902... Thursday, 31st July, 1902 was a quiet afternoon, until just after 2pm when a massive gas explosion ...in the mine shook the Illawarra felt from Helensburgh to Jamberoo. It is still Australias worst industrial accident. The cry went out across the village `My God! The Pit! and people came from far and wide to the pit top. At the time of the explosion 261 miners were working underground. The unthinkable had happened. The naked lamp of a miner had ignited gas that had gone undetected, seeping from the coal seam and collecting in a waste area of the mine. A mine collapse had pushed the gas to where the miners were working. Men and boys as young as 14 were either dead or trapped inside the mine. Earlier, a daily check for the presence of gas, had been conducted using a Davey safety lamp and the mine was declared safe for the day. As rescuers attempted to enter the mine they were struck by the debris and hot smoke that pushed them back out of the mine. Others who made it inside, succumbed to the afterdamp, a toxic mix of gases left in a mine after an explosion. This unseen killer made men feel weary and they would sit down to rest, only to die from the mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, sometimes with the addition of hydrogen sulphide. There were not enough safety lamps or stretchers for the rescuers to use and delays cost lives. Some men made their own way out, with one group of 70 crawling through narrow passages in total darkness. Others reported stumbling over the bodies of their deceased friends and relatives in the dark and confined conditions trying to find their way to clear ventilation. Aside from being friends and work mates, the deceased were brothers, uncles and nephews, fathers and sons, cousins, grandfathers. Whole families were affected by the tragedy. 167 were saved. 96 were lost. One was never recovered. By the time the bodies had been recovered, 33 widows and 120 children under 14 were left behind. This disaster touched the beautiful and serene community of Mount Kembla very deeply and the memory is still strong. Thinking of the families on this day, may they rest in peace, may we always remember them and may it never happen again.
