Book: 101 Things to Do With a Hole in the Ground

Cover image of 101 Things to Do With a Hole in the Ground101 Things to Do with a Hole in the Ground celebrates the incredible range of activities that have transformed old mines into new futures. Colour photographs and brief descriptions take the reader on a world tour of heritage and tourism attractions, wildlife habitats, educational, sport and leisure facilities and dozens of industrial uses - demonstrating that mining legacy can be converted from liability to opportunity and benefits for local communities. Some sample page spreads from the book are provided below.
