Charles J. Page: documentary photographer

A Troublesome Class of Men, Ipswich, Queensland Australia

In 1990-91 the Ipswich-West Moreton Coal fields in Queensland were ceasing underground mining operations. This series of portraits referenced the history of the mining culture (retired and retrenched miners) as well as the impact on the current workforce, many of whom were third and fourth generation miners.
