yes the 17 year old was supposed to start the next day but was real keen so he went in early to check it out

the area has a history of mining (coal and goal)

RIP.

2 Australians, 2 British, 1 South African and 24 NZ'ers just trying to make a living; thoughts go out to their families and fellow workmates.

 

RIP
