Gormley Installation

---

Despite heavy rain last night we actually made it to Antony Gormely’s “Inside Australia” artwork, out on a “dry” lake bed in the middle of nowhere 180 kms north of Kalgoorlie this afternoon. Started east on the Indian Pacific train on Sunday, but after 11 hours got off in this large gold mining town for a few days and rented a 4WD land cruiser. We left our foot prints all across the lake bed as we tramped from one cast sculpture to another on the bleak but breathtaking landscape. In Kalgoorlie we looked down into the giant open cast gold mine “super pit”, went underground in another mine, took a brothel tour and visited several museums to learn just how full on gold mining still is here.
