About
For 150 years, mining has changed our lives in extraordinary ways. It sparked waves of mass immigration, toppled prime ministers and dispossessed Indigenous Australians. It has saved Australia from financial ruin and generated incredible wealth. Mining’s past is a battleground that has divided, and yet forged the nation. Land, Money and Power - this is the epic story of mining.
“Mining affects every aspect of our lives. The story of mining is Australia’s story.”
