Our trip home took the following route (and for those that have missed it, yes we are home). Carnarvon, Geraldton, Southern Cross, Kalgoorlie, Roadside stop on the Nullabour, Eucla, Ceduna, Cowell, Adelaide. Over 3000km in 9 days ( 2 nights in Kalgoorlie). Out of Carnarvon the weather started to turn. Cold, wet and miserable and did not let up at all. Coldest was Kalgoorlie with 1 degrees at night. Lucky we had a gas heater that got the camper nice and warm, until it stopped working. Apparently with all of the dirt we had been on the heater got a bit of dust in it which clogged the valve. After some much pestering from me, it was bloody cold, Bruce pulled the thing apart and much to my relief got it working. So the rest went ... read more

Arriving back into Kalgoorlie after nine years was very exciting! We couldn’t wait to take a drive around the whole town and see what had changed. What had changed? Nothing! Well actually, that’s not true. The outskirts of town had become more populated with various businesses. There were now more clothes shops and at least 3 coffee shops making flat whites and lattes! But generally it all looked like it did when we left it. However last time we were here we had a big group of friends who were now all gone (except for Dion and AJ, a kiwi couple we made friends with from our previous work here. They have had 3 kids since we left!). So it is a weird feeling coming back because it kind of feels lonely. My brother was here ... read more

Today we will say bye to the 5 day trippers who are being picked up and then going on to Ayres Rock. We have a early start again ie 6:30 so breakfast is at 6am, we have been told we have a five hour drive through the goldfields via the town of Norseman this place is more of a village then a town. We arrived in Kalgoorlie at about 2pm and had lunch then went into the gold mine museum where we went underground and then to a goldpour then gold panning. We left here then went to a pub which had a mine pit in and you could look down it, we stopped here for a drink and it must be run by a Brit as they had a fridge with numerous British beers including ... read more

HIYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Boys & Girls over the last couple of days I went to a place called Kalgoorlie. It is A wee town in western australia. In 1893 a wee Irish man named Paddy found a big bit of gold there and then all these other people wanted to come too. It is far out man! There is this big hole there that is called the 'Super Pit' I would of called it the 'Super Duper Pit' because it was super duper. You should see the size of it, its bigger than the biggest thing ever, well apparently not, there is a bigger pit in south America. I had a really good time in Kalgoorlie. It was nice. All the best. Brian... Thanks for that Brian! It's true we went to a super Pit. The drive ... read more
