StrypeyI recently visited the Denniston coal plateax for the first time since the end of the Save Happy Valley occupation.
Last time I was there, all that could be seen of the coal mining operation at the top of the Bridle Track was a pile of rusting scrap. It was great to see all the work #DOC has done to preserve the site and make it safer to explore, and to surface its history with info boards full of photos and explanations.
