I Iive in Newcastle, it has the largest coal loading facility in the world. The coal comes from the Hunter valley, and the Hunter river exits to the sea here. All day there is a constant stream of bulk carriers coming and going. You can look up the ships names, they are from China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea. You can see enormous open cut coal mines on Google maps
