Around Kalgoorlie/Boulder

 It has been sometime since I posted on my blog due to working full time in the Accountant's Office for fourteen weeks.

Keep away from Dump Trucks


Bush Banana

Bush IT

Salt Lake
Bush bananas are cooked in hot earth beside the fire or eaten raw when young (the flavour has been likened to fresh peas). The root of the plant is called Merne atnetye and can also be eaten raw or cooked. The very white roots are cooked in the hot earth close to the fire.
All parts of the bush banana plant are still eaten in the desert today.
Jock, fire & Swag


 

Dump Truck

Superpit & Dump Trucks

  Based in Kalgoorlie/Boulder, Western Australia, The Super Pit produces up to 850,000 ounces of gold every year and its operation far outweighs any other mining centre in Australia. The Super Pit is the biggest gold open pit mine in the Australia. The pit is oblong in shape and is approximately 3.5 kilometres long, 1.5 kilometres wide and 570 metres deep. At these dimensions, it is large enough to be seen from space.
