The "Super Pit".......

We braved the cold and wet weather in Esperance and caught a few King George whiting along with a few flatheads and herring.

Tac is standing amongst the camel sculptures in Norseman.

The gold mining town of Kalgoorlie is full of beautiful old buildings....

.....along with the "Superpit".  A humongous open cut mine that you need to see to believe.  It is massive!!

You can just see the huge trucks going up and down from the bottom of the cut bringing all the rock up to the surface.  The drivers work a 12 hour day (or night) and only get 18 loads per shift, so you can appreciate the size of the cut and how long it takes them to get down and back up again!

Here we are standing amongst some of the old machinery from the mine.

This is one of the trays from the back of the trucks that haul the rock out of the mine.
