Wonderful footage, needs to be seen by many for them to understand the hard work the miners did.

Brought back many memories. As a lad I got to go down mines in the Lower Buller Gorge, and one in Upper Buller Gorge (Delta, I think) between Inangahua and Lyell which had a flume to the bins at roadway, which I used to slide down with the coal. Ive been down Heaphys mine in Lower Buller Gorge. No way kids would be able to do today.

Fabulous to have NZ history come alive.
