Year 2 and Mining interests
G'day Mrs Esther, Miss Duggan and year two. I hope you are all well and learning lots this term.
Mrs Esther sent me a message in Edmodo letting me know of your interest in mining. I have taken a few images I hope they help you visualize a bit better
The first image is of a mine at Cobar which is located East of Broken Hill. We didn't stay there but we took a trip to the lookout and what we saw blew us away. The size of the pit and how far down it went was amazing. In the photo you might see a littl black hole at the Bottom- that's the entrance to the mine and it is big enough for a huge earthmover to fit inside.
Then onto Broken Hill where the huge mounds of dirt left from mining can be seen from all over town. On top of the hill where these photos were taken is a memorial remembering all those who have died in the mines. This was a cold reminder of how dangerous this work is.
