Welcome to
Mt Kembla
Mt Kembla has a rich history, closely associated with coal mining. From the early original inhabitants, to Australia's first Pioneer Kerosene Works, to the original coal mine and through to today's mining activity, coal has been an ever-present feature alongside the local community.
