History - On February 15th, 1937, a horrific explosion in the No. 20 Shaft of Wonthaggi claimed the lives of 13 men. At 10am, a cloud of coal dust and gas erupted from the shaft, pushing a three ton cage 15 metres above the surface and tearing the roof off an adjoining house. The blast was so powerful that even it caused the shutters of the Dalyston post office, located four Kilometres away, to drop. (If you'd like to learn more about this historical event, an information board is located here, provided by the Bass Coast Shire Council)
