Hello Jackie, There is my "Victorian Mining Accident Index" at www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/miners.htm It has some 5500 names and other details. I have also done a CD that has 7557 names sorted alphabetically as well as by place & give the source in full not abbreviated as on the website & on my computer I now have over 9400 entries.
