Acland No. 2 Colliery, Heritage-listed coal mine complex in Acland, Queensland, Australia.
The Acland No. 2 Colliery features original mining structures, including workshops, loading gantry, picking belts, and processing facilities at Francis Street.
Operating from 1929 to 1984, this colliery supplied coal to Queensland Government Railways and local markets, including Toowoomba Hospital.
The site demonstrates the evolution of Queensland mining practices, from manual labor with hand-operated skips to electric-powered equipment in the 1950s.
Visitors can examine the preserved weighbridges, underground tramways, and mechanical tipplers that showcase the technological progression of coal processing methods.
After closure, the Greenhalgh family transformed the colliery into a museum before its sale to Rosalie Shire Council in 2000.
