Richmond Main Colliery, Coal mine in Kurri Kurri, Australia
The Richmond Main Colliery features substantial mining structures, including a power station, pithead facilities, and administrative buildings constructed with locally manufactured red bricks.
The colliery, established between 1908 and 1913 by J & A Brown, reached its production peak in 1928 with an output of 507,000 tons of coal.
The site maintains strong connections with the local community through the Richmond Vale Preservation Co-Operative Society, which has been active since the 1970s.
Visitors can explore the mining museum, housed in the former administrative office, during the first three Sundays of each month and every Sunday during school holidays.
The Richmond Vale Railway, which served the colliery, remained one of Australia's last operating steam-powered railway systems.
