3 Days in Kal

3rd July 2013

We had a pretty cruisy day today. We had a slow start which allowed the girls to do some school work. We then went out with Maca and the kids to the super pit. The viewing area since the last time we came to Kalgoorlie has moved as the pit has grown.  Even though it is a man made hole it is still an impressive site to see!

From here we went to Hammond Park where the kids played together.  This park has a lot of bird aviaries, a miniature castle and a fantastic kids playground.  This is even better than I remembered.

We then spent the rest of the day back at Maca's. It is quite nice to relax and spend time with great friends as a wind down to our trip!

Another slow start today.  Kinda feels weird to not be on the go all the time. Once again the girls took advantage of this and did some school work.

Late morning we headed out and went down the Main Street of Kal. We had lunch at Dome and then walked the full stretch of the Hannan Street. We bought some second hand books from Kelly's Aunty Pam and checked out the price of gold in the Kalgoorlie Gold Nugget shop.

Last stop was the museum where we checked out the viewing platform and looked out across Kalgoorlie, learnt about how the early gold miners lived and the local history, and had fun in the Antartica display.

Finished the day having tea and hanging out with Maca, Kobi and Kendra.

Last day in Kalgoorlie, where we spent the morning relaxing with the girls completing some school work. At about 12.30pm we picked up Kelly from the airport (Johnny Ruffo was on the same flight but the girls were to shy to get his autograph). It was so nice to hang out with Kelly for the afternoon. We finished the day with a meal at their local pub followed by some games and great laughs that went well in to the night.
