Editor's Notes
- Don’t fall asleep Aharon, we haven’t finished our induction!
- Looking from the bus window into a large coal pit. Notice the dragline in the background.
- If you look closely, you can see a dump truck on top of the hill behind the dragline.
- After they finish mining the area, environmentalists will plant trees to return the land to it’s natural state.
- A dump truck holds enough fuel to keep it working for 24 hours.
- The drills drill holes to put the explosives into, to blow up the dirt.
- A dump truck passes a water truck on the haul road.
- Mrs Malsem makes sure we haven’t lost anyone.
- Was it 40 tonne?
- Once again we see Aharon looking very intelligent.
- Now Jay and all the other bus students who live in Moura will be able to travel safely home through the new tunnel.
- The truck takes the coal to a dump station where it gets put onto the conveyor belt. It then goes to the wash plant.
