Coal mining was a major industry here in the early 1900's. In 2001, there are 5 coal-powered power stations in the valley here. They are a major industry here and provide electricity for much of Victoria. There are no nuclear power plants in all of Australia.
To see a history of the mine, if you are interested, you can read http://jinx.sistm.unsw.edu.au/~greenlft/1996/247/247p26.htm though it looks a little dry.
