Mining history recounted by long-time mining engineer

Retired mining engineer turned author Don Henderson has captured a fascinating account of the growth of Queensland‟s mining industry over the past 30 years in his new book, Constant Change – the Curragh Coal Mine Story.

Mr Henderson first started in the mining industry as a mining engineer on Bougainville Island in 1971. He went on to join the Curragh Mine development team in 1981 and retired as Wesfarmers Resources‟ Senior Development Manager almost 30 years later.
