Where the coal-face meets the road is a catch phrase in the transdimensional resource extraction industry.
The phrase conflates a wide range of coal mine fires and mountains of burning tires, in a variety of road-related environments.
The origin of the catch phrase has been widely debated.
According to John Brunner, the phrase originates during the Second World War (nonfiction) with secret Australian-American experiments towards weaponizing the didgeridoo.
Brunner stated that the process uses diagramaceous soil.
