Not the best day. Headed off to Kalgoorlie early this morning without a great deal of info about the place as I was not intending to go there but after making up a day yesterday thought I would go for a look.
Got there after a couple of hours and had a look a the Super Pit which is one very very large hole.
It then took a while to find anywhere open to get some breakfast as I did not know that there was no trading on a Sunday. Even Woolworths, Coles, Kmart etc were shut. After sorting that out, it took a while to find the Tourist Information. When I did it was not a long read as there is not much to look at apart from the Pipeline Tour which was 650km. You have to be kidding. The other mining museum that looked interesting had a sign on the gate that it was closed until further notice and I could not find out about Super Pit tours as the office was closed.
After a quick discussion with Kenneth and Wuffy, I decided to head towards Esperance and probably stop somewhere short tonight. Got back to Norseman at 3 pm with rain showers and as it was only 210km to Esperance I decided to press on as I could get there around five.
Unlike the early part of the day, this plan worked out and I am probably spending the next couple of days in the relative luxury of the Bayview Motel with the bike spending the night with the owner’s car. Looks like there is quite a bit to see here given my liking of coastline and beachs.
Wuffy and Kenneth have taken over bed to watch television, they are currently watching a program on Theorectical Physics and the Big Bang.
You’ve covered some kays there Neil! So where do Wuffy and Kenneth sit on the bike…up front on the dash??

The interesting bit is I am already about a 1000km more than I thought I would so far. All the little side trips add up.
Kms are easy to cover here, straight roads, not much traffic or changes in scenery, towns and 110km speed limit every where. Will drop a bit now I am back on the coast.
Wuffy and Kenneth have been camping in the Top Box most of the time as they do not like the cold and wet of the last few days.
ABC for Kids is much better!
So do Kenneth & Wuffy have a new take on the Big Bang Theory? I am thoroughly enjoying the read Neilo …well done!
