Gareth Evans came thousands of miles across the oceans to a mine called Mount Kembla that boasted one of the richest coal seams in the world, built on the side of a great mountain in the colony of New South Wales ... It was considered one of the safest mines in the industry, but in the year 1902 there occurred the worst disaster ever recorded in Australian mining history.
The Mount Kembla mine was opened in an atmosphere of high optimism and expectation, but no other colliery has experienced a greater tragedy.
This is the story of Gareth’s survival in the face of great odds and the influence of two women in his life, each of whom played their part in his life.
