Still on The Nulorbor on the WA side
Still seeing some brilliant scenery and stayed at a camp where parts of Skylab fell in 1979 (Most of it apparently between Perth and Norseman.Norseman is a sad looking place and looking rather derelict with shored up shops and petrol station It must have been a huge shock for locals when the Cinema closed down The towns past history is of a horse named Norseman who accidently hoofed up a lump of gold (that has now all gone) Still on the Nulobor we crossed a stretch of road Ninety Mile Straight and as the name suggests NOT a bend or kink to be seen over that distance.We stopped of at a Sheep Station to play a hole that is listed on the great Golf course and what a beautiful place,The scenery was knockout BUT because of our time schedule we didn’t have time for a stop over Kambalda was going to be our next stop BUT its not very appealing and mainly a mining town so we headed for overnight at Kalgoorlie.I was informed that the father of one my charges i worked for on Perth had relocated to Kalgoorlie and we called in to say hello and a couple of beers.That event turned out to be hilarious and we couldn’t stop laughing.His low care maintenance home was very good and I almost booked a place for myself down the track !!
