History
Gregory Mine State School opened on 10 July 1978 but closed on 14 December 1979.[4]
Following the dismissal of a group of mine workers from the Gordonstone Coal Mine (later renamed by Rio Tinto to Kestral Coal Mine), the workers maintained a protest line from early October 1997 to August 1999, becoming Australia's longest running black coal labour dispute. In 1998 they erected a monument to the protest (the Lilyvale Stand Monument).[5]
In the Шаблон:CensusAU, Crinum had a population of 86 people.[6]
