In the next suburb over, about 5 minutes from where I live off the side of the road is this display of old heritage mining equipment.
Dobson is a very small suburb but a bit bigger than Kaiata (where I live), it has houses and a local pub which has now closed down and lived in privately. These photos were taken early in the morning over Winter so not many people about.
This particular display was officially opened in 2018 by the then mayor of that time Tony Kokshoorn and assisted by Brian Creagh who was the oldest living Dobson coal miner.
Linking up with Through my lens, Tuesday Treasures, My corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

The old heritage mining equipment is really eye catching. Love the rusted look on these metals.
It's nice to see what the miners used in the old days. I like the shovel and pick on the historical structure.
The miners must have led a tough life.
I think it's good when they keep displays like that to remind of the history of a place.
Good to see the mines and the miners are remembered. Lots of history there
Very interesting. Must´ve been a hard life... Great the workers are honored like that.
...it's a nice tribute.
I love seeing displays like this and imagining what it was like when it was an actively working site.
Thank you for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2023/10/a-few-more-clicks-from-cedar-creek.html
