In simple words, longwall mining is a method of underground mining, in which coal is extracted from 60m to 200m long faces, moving continuously in one direction over large distances, leaving behind the goaf. The goaf is packed or allowed to cave. Longwall Mining is currently the main method of underground coal mining in Australia.Web
