Coalminers Heritage Wall

Coalminers Heritage Wall in Cornwall, Tasmania, is a historical monument honoring the miners who excavated coal beneath the Mount Nicholas Range. Established in a region known for its significant coal deposits, this heritage site reflects the town's evolution from a small camp to a pivotal coal mining center in the Fingal Valley.

The Cornwall Coal Company, the only coal supplier in Tasmania, plays a crucial role in the local economy by mining black coal from both underground and open cut sites. With a rich history dating back to the discovery of coal in 1843, Cornwall continues to be an essential hub for coal production in the state.
