Gold & Flying doctors
... we went.
At 1300hrs there were two pit blasts. Brilliant! The pit is now

Kalgoorlie Motor Home Rally
... open day, where visitors were allowed in for a gold coin donation (all monies raised at the rally went to local charities).

Kept me for a couple of hours and let me sleep in the car park in the motor home, with explicit instructions that I was to ring the emergency buzzer if I had any more trouble breathing.
