Exploring the Depths of History at the State Coal Mine

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, head towards Wonthaggi from your current location in Gippsland. Use the South Gippsland Highway (M420) for the most direct route. Once you reach Wonthaggi, follow signs for the State Coal Mine. From the main street, turn onto Garden Street, and you will find the entrance to the State Coal Mine at the end of the road. Parking is available on-site, and there are no additional costs for parking.

• Public Transport

  For public transportation, take a V/Line train from your nearest station to Wonthaggi. The closest major train station is in Cranbourne, where you can catch a train to Dandenong and then transfer to a bus heading to Wonthaggi. Once you arrive in Wonthaggi, you can either walk to the State Coal Mine, which is approximately 2 km from the bus stop, or use a local taxi service. Be sure to check the bus timetable ahead of time for the most accurate scheduling.

• Taxi/Rideshare

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider using a taxi or rideshare service from your location in Gippsland directly to the State Coal Mine. This can be a convenient option if you're traveling with a group or have luggage. Make sure to confirm the fare before starting your journey, as costs can vary depending on the distance from your starting point.
