Kalgoorlie

Arrived, then spent the day looking around the town, tried to get into the Questa Casa the oldest historical brothel in Australia but you had to book and the tour was full.
Visited the Goldfields War Museum, checked out the Super pit lookout then up to Mt Charlotte Lookout, the view was great the highest point in Kalgoorlie.
This is where the water reservoir for the whole town is and the water is pumped all the way from Perth in a massive amount of pipes.
There are many pipes that run off the Main line to every town along the route giving them all a constant water supply service.

We did the Kalgoorlie Gold mine super pit tour and it was excellent and the guide, Wes, knew his stuff,.
He was a baker by trade (20years) then started doing some part time tourism work then he was offered a job to remodel and set up the Kalgoorlie tours and Charters, then ran the place until Covid hit then worked in the mines driving dump trucks.
Now back in full swing with the tours,

He told us that the gold mine only had locals working in it, no FIFO as the CEO is a local and wants the locals to have jobs.
They roughly get a golf ball size of gold to every ton of rock, 1 dump truck out of seven would have gold in the rocks.もっと詳しく
