Australia Mine

The Australian government has given the OK for a  huge underground coal mine. They made this project and it could produce 60 million tonnes of coal a year. This mine will become the most largest mine in the world. It will help provide electricity to 100 million people. However, the mine is located at The great Barrier reef. It is a world famous wonder of nature. They are also worried about plans that would allow the mining company to dredge material from the seabed. However, the Australian government say there will be strict rules to limit any damage.
I find this hard to believe that any Government would do this to a wonder of the world.

  2. Hey Fotu. Your blog is informative and looks like you worked hard on what you were writing. It is hard to believe that they would do this to one of the world's wonders. Do you know when they're going to start the mining?

  3. Hi Fotu I really like your information that you put into your Blog. It is really sad to hear about the Great Barrier Reef getting covered with the underground Coal Mine. Is the Coal Mine going to carry on?
