| What cramped conditions the miners had to work in back in those days |
When travelling through Wonthaggi on our way to Phillip Island we decided to come back and visit this township and the Victoria State Coal Mine Museum. The local folk can be very proud of their time and effort in presenting the history of this large mine. The buildings and exhibits are very informative to a journey back to mining days past and makes this place worth a stop and visit. We did not go on the underground tour as we have been underground at Broken Hill Coal Mine.
