The information given in the table relates to the production capacity of raw coal by each state in Australia during a 36 year period from 1950 to 1986. The total amount of coal produced in Australia is given as well. It is obvious that coal production grew dramatically over that period.

NSW was Australia's top producer of raw coal from 1950-51 to 1980-81. NSW generated 12.9 millions of tonnes of raw coal in a950-51, turning to 77.2 millions of tonnes in 1980-1981. Qld was also prominent as it took second place within the same period. Qld succeded to produce just over 21 times more coal in 1980-81 with 42.8 millions of tonnes than 1950-51 at merely 2.3 millions of tonnes. In 1985-86, Qld replaced NSW in first rank since the raw coal produced by Qld (80.0 millions of tonnes0 exceed that of NSW (77.2 millions of tonnes).

During the period from 1950-51 to 1985-86, SA and WA occupied the third and the fourth ranks respectively, whereas Tas./Vic. completed the table in the fifth spot. Both SA and WA had gradual increase throughout the period. Meanwhile Tas./Vic. started its coal production record with 0.3 millions of tonnes in 1950-1951, fluctuated slightly and eventually reached 0.5 millions of tonnes in 1985-86.

Turning to the aggregate coal production, Australia generated 100 times more coal in 195-86 than that of in 1950-51.
