Kalgoorlie Gold

Tuesday 26th May:
Waking up to a cold and cloudy morning in Balladonia we used the electric heater to warm up the caravan but once we were driving west the sun showed itself and it turned into a pleasant day.
We stopped at the Afghan Water Holes (see picture), just 30km east of Norseman. By 10:30 we had reached Norseman which marks the end of the Nullarbor and the end of remoteness with no phone or radio signal. After filling the car we proceeded along the way to Kalgoorlie where we arrived at the Caravan Park just in time for lunch around 1:30pm.
We spent the afternoon checking out the township of Kalgoorlie and stocking up with fresh fruit and vegetables at the local Woolworths store. After a couple of days, since we crossed into WA and had to dispose of all fresh food, we are all hanging out for something fresh.
It's quite amazing how many of the Caravans in this park have VIC and NSW number plates. The Global Financial Crisis hasn't stopped the Victorian retirees from heading West.
Finally, we are back in the civilized world where the phone works and we can get online.
