Collage Size:M timbers soft with ageA dense collage of photographs from Awaba Colliery's working life covers an entire wall: workers in hard hats, group shots at the pit, a white NSW Mine station wagon, and a red semi trailer hauling heavy equipment. The short shorts on some crew members place these images firmly in the earlier decades of a mine that ran from 1947 until coal reserves were exhausted in 2012. Part of the Awaba Colliery series.
