  Just three decades ago, men still laboured underground with Welsh ponies to win black coal from Gippsland's faulted, fractured, narrow seams. Twenty-two pit ponies worked the State Coal Mine's last shift in 1968, ending a tradition that began with "Mick" in 1910. Go underground to see where men worked with ponies for fifty years to win black gold for Victoria's trains and industries.
