Hi Graeme your querie was intriging as i belong to the Wonthaggi Family History & Wonthaggi Historical Society I asked your question to the Historical Society and they said The "Outtrim Mines" was privately owned and operated and they had made enquiries years ago and found that their was no register and that when it closed down the miners went to Korumburra or Wonthaggi Coal Mines Our rooms have the microfiche on the coal miners for wonthaggi and the burial index of Wonthaggi Cemetery 1911 - 6.1990 BUT their is a book called "Scab Train" which lists the miners who worked on the outtrim mines. This book is in the sth.gipps.library and you might be able to borrow on inter-library loan. Hope this has helped you and we have now added this information to our system If you wish for a look up please emaile merle@compcom.com.au or you might be able to access the microfiche nearer to you.
