Perth to Kalgoorlie

Leaving Perth we came across our first "point of interest", the Rabbit Proof Fence!

Then we went through a very small town called Coolgardie, I guess in it's day it would have been impressive as the RSL club sure looked like it was a big thing!

Not too sure what this building is but it's next door to the RSL

The night before Kalgoorlie was spent in a great free camp with a nice fire, thanks to Camps 6.

In Kalgoorlie we had a booking for 3 night but turned up a day early, the Top Tourist park was in shock to think someone might want to change their mind and create some work for them, how dare we think we could get an extra day, this attitude is so typical of WA but that's a whole other blog, we ended up at another park on a gravel drive through site for $45, fabulous. As we managed to get a bit done the night was all we needed.

Compare this to the free camp the night before, not really good value!


The "Super Pit" was quite impressive I must say, unless you stand there looking at it it's hard to imagine the size:

This is not a Tonka Truck

It's worth $4,000,000

And that's it in the bottom of the pit!

Huge old pubs fill the streets of Kalgoorlie, this one seems to go on forever!
