Australia Approves Underground Mine



The Australian Government has approved a massive underground coal mine on the Great Barrier Reef. There is a rail project that would be producing 60 million tonnes of coal a year. The mine could become one of the largest mines in the world and it would be able to provide electricity for up to 100 million people.
The Australian Government has made a decision but it has angered people who say it is threatening the Great Barrier Reef.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the worlds most famous wonders of nature. The people are worried about the plans to ship the coal from the mine through the reef coast.
