Australia's Largest Coal Precinct Makes Progress with Rail Development

PERTH, AUSTRALIA--March 14, 2013--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Perth, Australia)--There are three major coal basins throughout the Australian state of Queensland, making up one of the largest coal deposits in Australia: the Bowen, Galilee and Surat basins. These, in turn, rely heavily on the Abbot Point Coal Terminal in Bowen, the Hay Point Terminal near Mackay, and the Gladstone port. As the growth continues throughout the state, growing pains are being felt by the infrastructure that supports the coal industry.
