Kalgoorlie from above, the tip of the townhall clock is pure gold...

We did Parkrun at 3 degrees celius...we both did PB'S, the cold made us go faster...

Main street Kalgoorlie, named after PaddyHannan, first prospector to discover gold here in 1890's..

Entrance to Hannan Park, only green grass in Kalgoorlie, except for the football fields...

Hannan Park, the dome shaped building looks ? Turkish...

129 year old building, originally a gentleman's club, saw a great blues acoustic band here...

Had a great buffet in here, the dining room...

This guy had the richest voice...fabulous...

The narrowest pub in the Southern Hemisphere, 5 metres wide, no longer in use, at free museum...

Local family at Coolgardie pub, our regular stop after gold detecting...

We found a brass button, our first button 😀

When I get bored gold detecting...this book is excellent, called 'The dictionary of lost words'

Goodbye Kalgoorlie- nice to meet you!

Leaving Kalgoorlie today in the pouring rain with no gold😔. Our friends found another nugget yesterday which was exciting for them! And of course we are happy for them...😉.
Normally it doesn't rain in Kalgoorlie so they never even built a drainage system so there is water everywhere...
Off now to Hyden and then Margaret River. Had a great time here exploring multiple old pubs, mines, Goldfields and some great tourist attractions. This week is NAIDOC week, so Tracey and I went to an aboriginal movie last night called 'The New Boy' by aboriginal director Warwick Thorton- absolutely brilliant 👏, totally recommend it. Starred Cate Blanchett and Debra Mailman, and the actor (Aswan Reid) who played the young aboriginal boy was truly superb. If you get a chance watch it!!Read more
