  • Industrial Pastoral: Lake Macquarie Coal Miners' Holidays
    Industrial Pastoral: Lake Macquarie Coal Miners’ Holidays1 Russell McDougall and Julian Croft As Stephen Page and Joanne Connell note in their mapping of the field, leisure studies is a largely post-war development, evolving internationally out of geography, economics, sociology and a range of other disciplines mostly in the social sciences rather than the humanities.2 Historians have not ignored the subject – there are plenty of historical studies of sports and recreation, the development of national parks, and so on. Yet, while leisure clearly has a vital and dynamic relation to work – culturally, politically, psychologically – labour historians in Australia appear to have been less interested in this area of research.3 We, the authors of this article, are primarily literary scholars rather than historians, but we have been puzzled by this apparent neglect.4 It is not our brief to examine the contemporary meanings of ‘leisure’ in relation to ‘work’ (or ‘forced labour,’ to adopt Guy Standing’s important twenty-first century distinction).5 Instead, our own study of coal miners’ holidays around Lake Macquarie from the late nineteenth and into the second half of the twentieth century considers the bygone rituals and activities of their holidaying from the vantage point of our own present location in an age where ‘simulation and nostalgia lie at the heart of everyday life.’6 Our method draws considerably on participant-observer social anthropology, though our collaboration might be considered to result from a kind of split consciousness, one of us having grown up in the society under focus while the other, a regular visitant, remained on its periphery, looking in.

  • EIS 110 Eraring Open Cut Coal Project
    EIS 110 Eraring open cut coal project: environmental impact statement. NSW DEPT PRIMARY I AAO57C THE ELECTRICITY COMMISSION OF NEW SOUTH WALES ERARING OPEN CUT COAL PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT THE ELECTRICITY COMMISSION OF NEW SOUTH WALES ERARING OPEN CUT COAL PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT MAY 1980 i I SUMMARY Eraring Open Cut Coal Mine is proposed as a source of coal for Eraring I Power Station. The Commission has planned the open cut to utilise a major resource and provide a stable and reliable coal supply to the power I station. I Location I The mine site is located 9 km south-west of Toronto, 3 km north of the village of Dora Creek, and 1 km north-east of the township of Cooranbong. There are approximately 50 million tonnes of coal within the site I boundaries and it is planned that the resource be worked at a rate of up to 2.5 million tonnes per year over a period of approximately 20 years. I Initial production is planned for 1983. Operations Control I The mine is to be operated by a contractor to the Electricity Commission. A Commission representative will be stationed at the mine site to oversee the mining operation, environmental conservation and reclamation. I Mining Plan Mining will commence with a box cut in the south eastern corner of the site I and progress from south to north. Mining practice will include removing high relief overburden with trucks and shovels, then stripping down to the I coal seams with draglines. The mine will employ approximately 270 persons.

All coal extracted from Myuna supplies the nearby Eraring Power Station. The mine includes a pit-top site adjacent to the former Wangi Power Station site near Wangi Wangi (see Figure 3), which incorporates a range of ancillary infrastructure, including a Coal Handling Plant (CHP). Coal is crushed at the CHP before being transported to Origin Energy's Eraring Power Station via the Eraring Overland Conveyor, which is also owned and operated by Origin Energy.
