WELCOME TO THE GRADE 3/4 TOUR
OF THEDAWSON MINE
by Mrs Butler
Waiting for the bus to arrive
Still waiting ............
and still waiting......................
Don’t we look intelligent
Our tour guide, Layla
Let the tour begin........
And now we see a close up
Is a mine natural or man-made?
A dump truck being refueled
Dump trucks waiting to begin work
Looking into a pit from the viewing tower
On the right is a drill
Standing on the viewing platform
The bits of black is coal that has been dug up
Water trucks keep the roads wet to keep the dust down
A dump truck hauling dirt out of the pit
At the bottom of the viewing tower
Giving way to a dump truck
Do you remember how much coal the dump trucks can carry?
Cat 797B
Looking through the windscreen of the bus down the haul road
Layla answers all our questions
Everybody wave now........
We pass a dozer along the way
This is the construction of the new tunnel along Gibihi Road
A front end loader loads coal onto a truck
The dragline is busy digging for coal
It scoops up the dirt and dumps it to the side of the pit
The dragline runs on electricity
The End
