141 years ago today at 3 pm, the 22 miners who lost their lives in the Australasian No. 2 Disaster were buried. 21 in Creswick Cemetery and John Gower in Ballarat New Cemetery. Over the following year, Nathaniel Trescowthick and James Temby were exhumed and moved to the Ballarat Old Cemetery.
We currently have profiles for only 6 of the men killed - it would be great to remember more of them
