Brunner mine site

This week we went to Brunner mine site. At 9.30a.m on the 26 March in 1896 an explosion tore through the Brunner mine. Rescuers began bringing out bodies out around 11 a.m; the final death toll was 65.
Fifty three of the victims were buried in the Stillwater Cemetery;
33 of them in a single grave. My favourite part about it was when we had to dress up.
