Thanks for taking us all on such a good road trip around Australia. You're an excellent host, and these are highly enjoyable videos. I have fond memories of a long stay in Boulder as a child back in the late 70s.
Interesting Terry, my father in law, now deceased, worked as a mining industrial chemist. I’ve never been over there, we have such an interesting history , just a matter of looking below the surface.
I worked there during the 80s and 90s (drilling) I loved the place, and have many happy memories, thanks for the video, which brought back more memories, and g,day from Ireland☘
Another absolutely brilliant episode, still watching, still wishing it was us 😂, but we always enjoy your very educational video and environment plus your research great stuff, looking forward to seeing the next spot in our beautiful country ❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🍻🍻👍👍👍
In the old days (1970's and maybe later) there was a tourist mine called the Hainault mine in Kalgoorlie that did underground tours. It was a real mine like maybe a hundred or more others but the upper levels were no longer being worked. It was fascinatiing. Unfortunately it got absorbed into the superpit. That pit is digging up all the gold that was missed through underground mining. It is said that many of the mines extended under the town. If you look at the walls of the superpit you can see many of the old mining tunnels. There must be a lot of gold under the town area but I guess they won't be moving the whole town. Another great video thanks.
Thanks Terry another great walk around, keep them coming. Just another note hope your forehead is feeling better after recent surgery, I noted your still wearing the beanie
We drove from Perth to Kalgoorlie on New Year’s Eve 2024 and visited the super pit we stayed in the Town overnight and returned to Perth on new years Day 2025 but not before visiting the skimpy bar 😂
In the old days, EVERYBODY on the Goldfields did their washing on MONDAYS. Why? Because Management scheduled no blasting in the mines, so there was less red dust to discolour the washing.

Thanks for another great video ! I really appreciate seeing all the places you visit which I may never see in person.
Wow that superpit is massive. So much character in all those buildings.

Why?
Because Management scheduled no blasting in the mines,
so there was less red dust to discolour the washing.
🌞The Railway Hotel in Peterborough sold for $150k then was set alight by somebody living there 😢
The architecture of the York hotel was a bit different
The police station used to be on the same street as the Hay Street Brothels.
So, the Council renamed half the street. Problem solved.
