Still operating in SA time the kids woke at 4:30am WA so we set off early, getting to Kalgoorlie as the shops were opening.
Amazing buildings. A mixture of old and new. We stayed in Prospectors caravan park, bit expensive but had a pool, for Friday till Monday. We stocked up on fruit & veg and made the most of the cheep groceries. The museum was great making us amazed at how the people lived in years gone by to try and earn a living , hoping for a gold strike.The kids loved seeing real volt doors like in the movies and realise that they really would be hard to bust through. The amount off gold that they lock up every night is impressive.
The visit to the Super Pit was specky. Huge. This is the family relaxing in a huge loader bucket. We didn't get to see a blast but was highly recomended.
Church on Sunday was the AOG at Kalgoorlie. It was incredable the cultural diversity within a 50 people congregation. South African, Asian, Indian, Papa New Guinea, NZ , Russian.....amazing. They were really interesting to talk to. Everyone has a story and some have given up a lot to try a better life. God keeps guiding us in where we go and when we go and we are meeting up with people that we can encourage and we are also being encouraged by others.
We are happy with all we brought and the solar is working great in this hot whether.
