The Superpit is enormous but I was only allowed a brief look at the gaping hole as one of the KCGM workers came up to tell us all to leave the lookout as there was a code yellow which meant there was lightening in the area and as we were on the highest point, things could have got tricky. And, as you know, being slightly rotund, I was a sitting duck for more than one strike. The township of Boulder was extensively damaged by the earthquake in 2010, especially the Boulder Town Hall, with so many of the buildings covered in scaffolding - a few working safely at heights tickets needed there! - it looks like it will be a while before the main street looks really good again. The Superpit Shop had some fantastic products for sale and a tricky mathematical problem for us to solve about how much the gold bar was worth at the daily gold price per ounce - it was a good thing there was a large calculator handy!
I also checked out two lunch places, a Hannan's Street tour and the WA Museum Head Frame and kept a look out for companies that may require our services.
Kalgoorie-Boulder is a large thriving city with plenty of training opportunities available so expect to see us in the area before too long. I've put a few of the happy snaps of my trip up for you to check out.
