Kalgoorlie is a lovely place and we really did not do it justice in the few days we were there. We will be back..... having done the golden Quest and ending up at the Super Pit, we were still overwhelmed as to the sizes and industry that Western Australia has to offer. Especially with all the doom and gloom it was great to see a thriving community. This picture is of the Original Council Office.. now houses post office etc.
View down the mail street, showing the architecture of years gone by, while we were walking down here, a friend of mine Rick Hurst, called to find out were we were and lo and behold he was driving into Boulder!! He was on his way to Perth but managed to find 45 mins to get to our Turtle for a quick drink before heading to the Airport... such a small world!
Stephen suggested that we topped up the coffers.....I don't think so!!!!!!!!!
This was my idea of a chance of topping up the coffers... didn't find a thing but it was fun trying. This is at the Miners Hall of Fame, were we went down a mine, and yes Mum they turned out the lights!
And they also did a so called Gold pour... well not quite but it was still very interesting to watch. (The only place you can see a real gold pour is at the Perth Mint)
