Snapshot of the past

A photo postcard showing a group of four men bagging coal at the Morwell Coal Mine c.1918.

Mining has come a long way since this photograph to open cut mining.

Note the wooden wheel barrows and how the men all look clean in white shirts and vests despite the work being undertaken.
