A day in Kalgoorlie

Today we stayed around the town of Kal.
First, I took Ang to see Hay st. this is the famous street where Kal has it's brothels, there wasn't much to see, it was a bit early.
We went to the Mt Charlotte lookout, which looks out over the town and is also where the towns water supply is pumped from. This is the storage tank where the water pipe line from Perth finishes.
Then we were off to Hammond Park, where we had a sandwich for and also let peanut have a crawl around. There was also a miniture Bavarian castle to and some parrots in avery cages.
Lastly we went to Hannans North tourists mine, it was once a working mine. It also miners and prospectors hall of fame. Ang and I also had a crack at panning for gold in their little man made stream, which they salt with little flecks of gold. I actually managed to find some, we tried it again before leaving and I found a couple more flecks.
There is also an underground tour of the mine, about 36m down, the first level of 13. We had to go seperately, as peanut is too young to go down.
We also saw a gold pour, well it was really silver and bronze but we got to watch the process.
Peanut grabbed a custard tin and her finger and there was lots of blood and it seemed annoy her all night.
Finally we retired to our cabin at the caravan park for dinner and to prepare for the next section, the drive to Cocklebiddy, approximately 628kms.
I may not be able to send much in for a couple of days, possibly no phone service.
