Bowen Consolidated Colliery, Coal mine in Scottville, Queensland, Australia

The Bowen Consolidated Colliery extends across five hectares of land, featuring multiple structures including headframes, shaft houses, and a power station at Station Street.

Established in 1919, the colliery operated until 1962, marking a significant period in Queensland's mining development before being replaced by the mechanized No. 2 Underground Mine.

The mining complex represents early 20th-century industrial practices through its preserved structures, illustrating the evolution of coal extraction methods in Queensland's mining sector.

Located 3.5 kilometers from Collinsville and 75 kilometers southwest of Bowen, the site maintains numerous original buildings available for industrial heritage research.

The colliery contains a four-legged headframe design that predates modern A-frame configurations, representing early Australian mining engineering techniques.
