BAMBRA COAL MINE - History
The Bambra mine (Globrite Colliery) was started in 1947, supplying a small amount of coal to the Geelong Woollen mills. The Globrite Colliery Co took over in 1950 and installed a decline adit into the deposit. 765 tons were mined in that year, and about 50-60 tons per week after that. Further operations not known. The deposit had first been discovered during Mines Department drilling in 1922.BAMBRA COAL MINE - Interpretation of Site
The site is difficult to interpret without a more detailed on-ground investigation. Access to private property was unable to be arranged. Little appears to be left to interpret the former operations.
