Description

Two different eras are covered in this story of small mines in Australia. The first, just after the Second World War is located in the Northern Territory and the second, about mining on a small lease as it is today in North West Queensland. Two very different times with initially, pick and shovel, hand drilling, gelignite use and hand winches the order of the day. The latter half depicts today's mining when heavy machinery and new technology is available even in small mines. There is danger too as mine sites can be a volatile environment. In either time, human spirit is engaged in a physical struggle with nature to wrest treasures from the earth. A story of the men and women involved in perhaps mankind's last great physical challenge in an ever-increasing digital-dominated world.
