9th May 2024
Distance: 24km
It was a windy night for some reason, the door of the camper kept banging in the wind, to stop it happening again this morning I found the bungee cord that I normally use to keep it open but rigid.
Also hand washed all my dirty clothes and got them on the line so that I can start again tomorrow with a full complement of clean clothes. At 9am asked the park office for a map and booklet about Kalgoorlie so I could look around.
The Super Pit
First visit was to the main gold mine called The Super Pit Lookout basically overlooking a big hole in the ground.
Mount Charlotte Reservoir Lookout
On top of a hill used as a water storage reservoir and communication tower location is a lookout with views over the whole town.
Kalgoorlie Town Centre
Quite an interesting town centre, lots of old buildings
Boulder Town Centre
Boulder town centre seems to be suffering a downturn – probably not room for two town centres so close together.
Shopping and Relaxing
After visiting the places mentioned above I found an IGA shopping centre to buy milk, biscuits and replace some of the potatoes I lost to the quarantine service 0n entering the state.
I returned to the caravan park mid afternoon collected my now dry clothes from the line and read my book on a warm sunny afternoon.
