Asbestos was mined in Wittenoom, a remote town in Western Australia. The asbestos mine in Wittenoom operated from 1943 to 1966, and during that time, large quantities of blue asbestos, also known as crocidolite, were extracted. However, the mining operations led to severe health issues for the miners and residents due to asbestos exposure.
