Sunshine district’s brown coal finds and a hewn future
The article recounts early surveys in the Sunshine area showing brown coal in significant quantities. It credits the late Hugh V. McKay for initiating tests at the Harvester Works site, noting the coal’s extraction would have been costly and foregone. It also describes an inexhaustible water bore on Hampshire Road, sealed for generations, and McKay’s wish to preserve the bore and land for future Sunshine residents.
