Distribution of coal by age and rank in the better-known coal fields of the world (from Cady, 1978). The index numbers referring to coal districts are grouped by continent and country in the following list: Africa/ Belgian Congo, 144; Natal, 147. Asia/ China, 163, 132, 167, 135; India, 19; USSR, Siberia, 118, 172, 119, 122, 128, 131,133, 183, 171; Turkestan, 125. Australia/ 8, 134; New Zealand, 31, 36, 89, 98.

Most of the coal is used domes- tically but increasing tonnages will be available for export in the future (Aughenbaugh and others, 1982). Australia contains the fourth largest resource of coal in the world, but is the second largest exporter of coal, most going to Japan. The country contains as many as 30 coal-bearing basins; the more important of these basins are shown in Figure 2-6. Bituminous coals are mainly located in three sedimentary basins on the east coast---Bowen, Gippsland, and Sydney.
