Last Wednesday, five men received significant burns when gas ignited at the Grosvenor Mine, near Moranbah in the Bowen Basin. They remain in a Brisbane hospital, with four in a critical condition. The ABC interviewed two women^bothjyive^jifjwfters..a^ mothers of tvvo children, who requeste^’anonymity foTfear their husbands'jobs might be jeopardised by speaking out.

(ABC Tropical North: Holly Richardson) Their concerns about the risks involved with underground mining are shared by other families. "My husband works on the surface and it's still scary, but not as scary if he was underground," another woman said. "I'm okay with him being with mining and happy that he's above ground. "I've always said that I don't want him to go underground. He's been offered it and I've said no.

"My home is in the flight path so when the [aeromedicaL] planes went over, it was an extremely eerie and sick feeling to know something has happened so close to our community," she said. "Anyone that comes into our region is part of our community, part of our family, and there's no more strength than that in a mining community." .J .t I Moranbah's memorial pays tribute to all the miners who tragically died in accidents on the job.

"Their families should not be sitting at home wondering if 'that phone call is going to come to my house tonight?'." Community support The recent incident highlighted the strength of mining communities. Geoff and Ness Murison moved to Moranbah in 2012 and initially planned to stay there for about a year, but they fell in love with the area. "One year turned into two, and then eight and a bit, and this is our home now," Mr Murison said. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-14/mining-tragedies-take-toli-on-whole-family-and-community/12241496 How mining tragedies iike Moranbah can impact entire communities, and haunt famiiies - ABC News 19/5/20, 10:03 am Grosvenor coaL mine early on May 7, the day after the explosion.

  • 4.0 Overview of the Regional Surface and Subsurface Geology of the Duaringa Basin
    Duaringa Basin Report on Hydrological Investigations 4.0 Overview of the Regional Surface and Subsurface Geology of the Duaringa Basin 4.1 Introduction The surface geology of the Duaringa Basin project site and surrounding environment is characterised by the surface exposures of the Tertiary age Duaringa Formation sediments and surrounding exposures of the Permian age sediments (Figure 4.1). The Duaringa Formation is composed of interbedded mudstones, shale, oil shale siltstone and lignite beds and rare sandstone, conglomerate and basalt beds (Day et al., 1983). The Permian age sediments are part of the Bowen Basin stratigraphic sequence. The overlying Tertiary age Duaringa Formation does not form part of the formal Bowen Basin stratigraphic sequence. The surface exposures of the Duaringa Formation can be differentiated into recent exposures and older lateritic tablelands. There are also some small outcrops of Tertiary age volcanics exposed through the Tertiary age and Permian age sediments present in and near the Duaringa Basin. The significant rivers, such as the Mackenzie River and Dawson River, which traverse the Duaringa Basin, have deposited large volumes of alluvial sediment in broad braided plains on both the Duaringa Formation and Permian age sediments. The Duaringa Basin along with the Biloela Basin and Hillsborough Basin formed during the opening of the Coral Sea during the Eocene between 52 and 34 million years ago (SRK, 2008). These basins are bounded by NE to SW trending bounding faults along their western margins. Movement along these faults is largely sinistal (left lateral). However, there has been significant downward movement on the eastern side of the fault blocks, which has opened deep asymmetrical grabens (Veevers and Powell, 1994).
