    Very enjoyable. Kal is the epicenter of multiculturalism in Western Australia. It's because so many people from so many countries found themselves stranded and isolated in one of the most remote regions on earth and all but forced to assimilate over a period of a hundred years. It shaped the core culture of West Australians, an influence so powerful it still effects the culture to this day. The whole region is just so rich in history in both the culture of the desert Aboriginie's, the story of colonization and today an oasis in a brutal landscape. Magic.

    In the past I've looked into the "sacred nugget" event at Kanowna and read many so-called explanations, but none of them stack up with *all* the known facts. Young Father Long took the true details with him to the grave, as he said he would.
    Finding a photo of Father Long speaking to the masses from the balcony of the Criterion Hotel has long been known, and there are several more.
    I do not believe Father Long named the nugget 'sacred'; that came about from locals and newspapers, who had other name variations for it as well; sacred was used because it was said to have been discovered on a Sunday.
    Father's long statement from the balcony where the nugget supposedly was found was known as a poor alluvial site and therefore improbable. Although there was a huge stampede to the site, the few who knew better simply went into the hotels to continue drinking. By sunset the mob returned empty handed. Some were angry, but there was no real threat of rioting. Long immediately went to ground, and took his loss of face with the community very hard. Later he became ill and he said to his carers from the outset he would not survive, which he didn't.
    As a gold town, it did make it, but like many others, with a limited life.

    The Metropole Hotel was closed and for sale the last time I was in Boulder. I hope it gets reopened as a pub again, one of my favourites.

    @deborahnunn2394 ปีที่แล้ว

    Contrary I do use a few products and they do absorb through your skin I’m not want to listen to someone like this put a mask on etc. the main thing in my age you need to keep the skin moist and contrary to what others may say keeping your body hydrated is also like the key factor

    The Herbert Hoover? Of Hoover Dam?!!!!

    • @electronwave4551
      @electronwave4551 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Herbert Hoover was a young very capable mining engineer in the eastern goldfields of Western Australia from mid-1897 to late 1898. He was able to get mines under his control into a workable/profitable venture, but in doing so, by getting rid of lazy mine laborers, he got a 'reputation' with unions. He was fresh-faced so he grew a beard to look older and visually command more authority.
      Camels were often the means of transport to reach isolated mines in the eastern goldfields then. They have a peculiar gate that gives them the nickname 'Ships of the desert' for their rolling motion with a rider. Years later it was said Hoover became physically ill at the sight of a camel at a US zoo.
      He eventually was President of the United States.

    Saying that prostitution is still necessity today is like saying slavery is too. Great majority of women working in this trade are victims of trafficking and human trade, coming out of situation of extreme poverty pathological families, victims of addiction or even mental illness, many of them coerced by threats and violence to themselves and blackmailed with ones towards their families.

    • @redhammer9910
      @redhammer9910 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      And the majority do it because the money is pretty damn good. Met many a young lass who work two jobs. After a year they buy a house nice car and just get on with life. Not all women are victims.

    • @perthgirlwa2407

      No slavery out there. They fly-in, fly-out on FIFO money. The best money they can make without having to get out of bed.🤣
