Laverton - Great Central Rd
2018年5月15日, オーストラリア ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
We left Laverton after lunch today and took the GCR to our overnight spot, free camping at the Giles Breakaway. No facilities of course, just a nice view down into the valley and a quiet place to ourselves. There is one other couple here tonight, but after some chit chat they drove off down a track to find their own private spot. They said they’ve done this journey 4 times before.

We had coffee at the Laverton Visitors Centre, where we had to get permits to travel across to Uluru, one for the WA side of the border and the other for the NT side. They are permits that allow us to travel on Native Title Land. A sign of respect I think as they do not cost anything, but you are expected to have them.

The tour we paid for in the Visitors Centre was excellent. It was a good interpretative story of the history of Laverton and surrounding regions, going right back to the early exploration of the area by Sir John Forrest.

Dave had to let Phoebe out at midnight last night and he said the night sky was phenomenal. He wanted to wake me up to have a look but thought better of it. I wonder why 😂

Right now we are cooking a chicken casserole on the BBQ. It’s smelling pretty darn nice.もっと詳しく

The Superpit and the Brothel
2018年5月9日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Today we had a look at the two most famous places in Kalgoorlie.

The Goldmine.
Each dump truck (worth $4.4 million each) carries 250 tons of rubble out of the pit. Only one out of every 7 trucks carries the high grade rock, which after crushing and processing will yield about a golf ball sized lump of pure gold. The mine owns and runs 40 trucks and various other mammoth machines 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The tour was well worth it. The size and scale of the everything was huge.

The Brothel
Questa Casa or The Pink House. Back in its heydey it had ten working rooms and as many girls who were kept very busy and apparently they made pots of money. It’s still a working brothel and the girls start at 7pm.

Now, the Questa Casa has just three rooms in use and there is only demand for two sex workers at a time. Prices are $150 for a half-hour and $280 for a full hour. (I thought you might like to know that vital piece of information).

To keep the brothel afloat, Carmel and her daughter (the madams) run daily tours for travellers. There was 18 in our group and at $25 a head that’s pretty good money for an hour or so.もっと詳しく

The GypsiesHi Kevin, We will be in Brisbane around that time. We haven’t seen much of Brisbane and if you don’t mind a tag along, we think it would be fantastic to spend some time with you guys. Have you got an itinerary and a time frame in mind. We will ring you when we get into Queensland, and you can tell us your plans. 😄👋

The GypsiesHi Lesley. We are heading towards Uluru across the Great Central Rd, then towards Alice Springs. Then perhaps into Queensland. Great to hear from you. Enjoy your northern trip. 👋

Finally we are on the road again. We had some mechanical issues with our truck and they took much longer to sort out than we expected. Iveco eventually fixed the problems after much discussion and time wasted.
However we had a lovely time catching up with both our families and were sad to say goodbye. BUT ARE SOOOO GLAD to be moving on and doing what we planned. Well actually, there is not much of a plan but heading East is a good start.もっと詳しく

Kerry O'SheaYou look so happy! Wish I could have talked to you a bit more last time I saw you but it was all a bit of a blur. Will keep an eye on what you are up to and where you are going. xx
