Quick Tour of Kalgoorlie

The Big Pit Kalgoorlie, same hole just getting bigger

We booked in for a quick tour around Kalgoorlie this morning. Had a great bus driver who took us to several spots around the city for a “taste” of some attractions including Hanson’s Tourist Mine, Boulder Town Hall, the Big Pit, the Museum and the School of Rocks. Generally it was an interesting trip, we had been to the Tourist Mine before and we could spend more time in the centre of the city but Turtle needed some minor repairs done. We had lunch in a very nice cafe, then did some shopping for bits and pieces we needed for repairs to one door handle.

After lunch we stayed in camp enjoying the warm weather and catching up on a few jobs. Bob returned with the news that Turtle still needed a wheel alignment done but it cannot be done until tomorrow at 10 o’clock.

We then had a few quiet drinks for our final night in Kalgoorlie. We intend to go to Menzies to stay in the Caravan Park there to catch up on washing and showering. We have been free camping for a week and things are getting a bit crusty. The solar power has worked a treat, last night was the first night we had dropped below 13.0 volts since we left Ceduna and we haven’t been driving anywhere for the last three days to top up the power.
