The service will be Forest Meadow, Roma Street Parklands, Parkland Boulevard (off Roma Street) in Brisbane.

The day will commemorate the lives of more than 1450 miners who died in mining tragedies that touch on three different centuries of mining in Queensland. It will be held on the anniversary of the worst mining disaster in Queensland’s history, at Mount Mulligan during 1921.

“Their deaths are a sad part of our collective history. And the history of workers, their struggle, and sadly the ultimate sacrifice of workers should never be forgotten,” Mines Minister Geoff Wilson said.

The Queensland Government said mines may wish to commemorate the day at their own mines or make mention of the day at safety meetings.

Details of the Brisbane service are available at www.dme.qld.gov.au/mines/miners_memorial_day_2008.cfm
