From memory:
Brown coal - Latrobe valley
Black Coal - All around Sydney, I think there is a huge seam of coal in and around Sydney. It is 100's of sq km in size. Most of it is very deep, however it gets near to the surface where there has been geological activity. These main areas are Newcastle, Woolongong and Lithgow.
Edit
I just looked on the net, the Australian bureau of statistics is normally a good source of this type of info. Just go down to the relevant map.

verify with the minerals council of australia they are able to help yet you are able to endure in ideas that throughout the time of trouble-free terms a small% of australia has had a suited geological survey. I stay in alice springs and almost each time a corporation drills a hollow suited now they locate some thing be it gasoline uranium gold phosphate rear earths or what ever
