Coal Mines Historic site



Closely linked with Port Arthur is the Coal Mines Historic site another compelling chapter in our convict history.  Approximately 3/4 hour drive from Port Arthur
 
 


Coal mines where convicts laboured in harsh conditions to dig coal in narrow, dark & airless underground tunnels


The ruins remain - you can wander & wonder at the brutality of the past
