Catching our Breath in Kalgoorlie

We've spent a couple of days in Kalgoorlie catching our breath after dashing across the Nullarbor, and basking in the lovely warm sunshine. We spent a while here when we were in WA earlier in the trip (almost exactly a year ago in fact) so there wasn't too much in the way of tourist delights that we hadn't already done. However, we spent half a day at the local museum, then John watched the AFL grand final replay.

This morning (Sunday) we had noticed was the local monthly market, but this proved less than exciting - barely half a dozen rather tatty stalls, plus a fairly ordinary sausage sizzle. The highlight of our stay here was a game at the brand new Kalgoorlie Golf Club, a green oasis with lovely grassed fairways and greens, and red dirt outside of these narrow boundaries. The only drawback with the course is that it has obviously been built as a cart course, so it was quite a long walk - not the least being almost a full kilometre between the 9th green and the 10th tee.

Today is our wedding anniversary, so although Sunday evening in Kalgoorlie provides limited dining options we had a celebration dinner out. Back to standard caravan fare tomorrow.
