'Put him on a plane..'
This is a top pick! ... good. Today saw us squeeze ourselves into the liveliest event of the year: race day - a huge day here in Kalgoorlie and a perfect opportunity to see something other than fluorescent jackets and empty glasses. The weather was glorious, the beer ...
Two weeks, two wheels..
This is a top pick! ... Australia, taking in Albany, Denmark and the magic of Margaret River before rolling up wearily into Perth. This corner of Australia is stunning - a well kept secret they reckon - so it should make for an interesting ride, especially considering the ...
Days 214-215
This is a top pick! ... - great! Then came the grand-finale of the bus tour - more drive-bys of the three remaining and working brothels in Kalgoorlie. I cringed as we slowed and drove passed. Working girls would normally stand in doorways to the brothel but on seeing the tour ...
'Some People are Douche Bags..'
This is a top pick! ... or buses to get to work - just a short flight of stairs down to the restaurant. Happy days. So what's the catch? Simple. Kalgoorlie's a modest little town in the middle of the baking dust. There's nothing much to do here, so there's not a fat lot to ...
Dickhead Central
This is a top pick! ... here in Boulder. This is the big driving force I was talking about. Take a look. It's the largest open-cast mine in Australia and is absolutely stupid in size. The tiny dump trucks you can see down there are those giant goliath machines that make cars ...
'Hard' times..
This is a top pick! ... and chugs away effortlessly. There's so much money flying around here you can almost smell it in the air. Kalgoorlie is without doubt Australia's 'Vegas', and with their food, accommodation and expenses covered (and the staggering rate of pay they get) ...
Can you hear me now?
This is a top pick! ... the back of the bike; an excitable and inquisitive trip to see the 'World's best beaches' down in a remote corner of Western Australia; and more redneck tales that will leave you dazed. Until then, crack a coldie and grow a grin.. Woz.. (Dan, ...
"One Dead Kangaroo, two dead Kangaroos...!"
This is a top pick! ... made the decision to crack onto Kalgoorlie, a gold mining town 200 kms North, which apparently had a 'good' nightlife. Kalgoorlie is a town famous in Australia for producing record amounts of gold. Gold was found here as far back as the early 1800's, ...
A Detour... North..
This is a top pick! ... chunky all-in-one pub/restaurant/bookies/hotel/accommodation places that you see standing majestically on almost every intersection. Kalgoorlie was - and still very much is - a booming little gold-mining town. Apart from its faithful locals the ...
Leaving Feralsville
This is a top pick! ... their tenacious hell bent will to zip up the nearest facial orifice, as if their life depended on it. They actually call it 'The Kalgoorlie Wave'. I kid you not. It's a world of torment and I'll be glad to see the back of it. Anyway.. Linda's ...
Trying to live harmoniously with rednecks
This is a top pick! 'Heat delirium - a state of aggressive (often violent) mental agitation caused by the prolonged exposure to excessive relentless heat..' Current temp: early forties, approaching fifties (°C). It's been a bit of a game trying to convey what it's ...
Kalgoorlie – Home of the Super Pit

Auf zum Holland Track
... denn ich bin gerade dabei die 7 Steinschläge auf der Windschutzscheibe zu flicken. Die habe ich mir gestern wenige Kilometer vor Kalgoorlie auf dem Highway eingefangen, als mir so ein blöder Mining-Truck entgegen kam und eine Wolke von Steinen mit sich ...
Kalgoorlie, ach wie schoen.
Dass ich das jemals denke, haette ich auch nie gedacht, war aber so ... denn nach 4 Wochen Onslow ist Kalgoorlie echt aufregend ... so viele verschiedene Menschen und sogar Frauen ;-) Am Flughafen wurde ich dann von Toni abgeholt und dann gings zurueck ...
The start of a long journey
... arrived on the Friday. In the middle of the first night the train made a stop for several hours in the mining town of Kalgoorlie. This isolated town is home to the largest gold mine in Australia. Calling it the largest doesn't do it justice. The thing is ...
The ins and outs of life in downtown "Kal"...

Rushing to the Golden Outback
... ; It didn’t take long for word to get out about the big find and it triggering one of Australia’s biggest gold rushes. However, Kalgoorlie was a land locked town, with nothing but salt flats surrounding the area, it had no drinkable ...
