About 4 hours west of Brissie lies Millmerran, a very small town. Nothing much happening here except brown snakes, zillions of rabbits and quadrizillions of kangaroos.
But then a few years back, it happened, coal was discovered and lots of it. The power plant I visited is built on its own lands and underneath lies enough coal to power the station for the next 160 years at full throttle.
They excavate about 3m of top soil and after that lies 6m of coal, and it's quite good quality as well. The 850 Mwatt plant runs 24/7 and during the night the entire complex is managed by 3 people.
I went there for a couple of days and felt super welcome. I was invited to a restaurant 3 times and had good fun.
We had to take a car for 45 minutes to get to the nearest restaurant. On the way the driver, a true Aussie, kills a couple of rabbits on purpose. Of course chocking to me, but here they try to kill them whenever they can, there are just too many of them.
