That’s substantial. We used to buy coal from the bottom bins and I did work stuff for kiwi at the foundry. I Didn’t know there was other bins above the road side ones. VW Yarrum

Kiwi coal was a good hot and clean burning coal. Burnt alot of there coal at Westland Co-op dairy Factory Boilers in the 1980s 90s and into the 2000s. Now WMP Hokitika
