Thurs 20 to Fri 21 June – Kalgoorlie

Kalgoorlie weather is very cold at night and been a bit foggy in the mornings, but beautiful sunshine during the day. 

Visited the Super Pit gold mine, checked out the architecture in Kalgoorlie and Boulder main streets, and did an interesting tour of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.  Also enjoyed catching up with Kate and her new baby Ally.  (My daughter’s sister in law.)
 
Paddy Hannan statue / water fountain, Hannan St, Kalgoorlie.  This is a replica of the original statue which in the foyer of the town hall.  It was cold and a bit foggy when this photo was taken.




This old doorway found within the old Miners Institute building.  Not so sure about hair singeing or electrical massage!

We had tea on the balcony of this pub.

The Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mine (KCGM) Super Pit is ENORMOUS.
