Down town Kal, from Sara's perspective

So we took Sara down the main street here in Kalgoorlie the other day.  I know I already posted about this, but Sara took some more artsy kind of photos than I did, so I thought I would share a few.  Isn't interesting how different people can do the exact same thing, but they each have a very different experience?  I love that about people!  That is why everyone is valued and needed.  We all add a different perspective on things.  Anyways, that was a really weird tangent!  Here are some of the photos Sara took.  

Here's the mining Museum, this is towering over the town at the end of main street. 

 Here is the clock tower, see aren't these photos so much more artistic? It is actually making the town look classy. Which it is...LOL!

We took a million photos in front of this monument, not sure why, but the kids are pretty cute in all of them, so I put them all in. 

 As you can see Ava is still obsessed with her yellow overalls, I think she has been wearing them in the last few posts, and she wore them on her birthday, so probably in the next one too! 

Here's the fountain in the middle of the town square with the creepy story.  Sara took a picture of each plaque with a part of the story, so I'll put it on here for you to read yourself. 

Pretty interesting, hey?

Remember last time we were here there was a shopping cart in the fountain?  Well this time there were a few chairs.  It's just how we roll here in Kal.

Cute Will checking out the submerged chair.

Some more artistic photo's of the architecture.

And here I am with the kiddos at the miner statue at the end of Historic Hannan's  Street. 

So there you have it.  Downtown Kal, revisited!

The Super Pit

With Sara here in town, it's got me trying to find out what there is to see around here.   The Super Pit is certainly a must see in Kalgoorlie.  Now, being from South Jordan, where the largest open pit mine in the world is just a few miles up the road, it is a little hard to compete with that.  But, the Super Pit here is still quite impressive, and it was actually fun that we could see what the trucks and diggers were doing.  And the Kalgoorlie Super Pit is the largest open pit mine in the Southern hemisphere, so that's something.  The kids had a great time also.

Here is Will in a hurry to see all the cool man stuff!

 Here is a huge dump truck bucket, Ava thought it was a boat.

 A photo with Aunty Sara.

 Here are some other cool old mining equipment.

 Not sure exactly what these things are...but we can imagine, right?  Any guesses?

 This was what we got when we said smile...isn't that a cute face???

Now on to the super pit!

 Here we all are checking it out.  (Man, it is great to have a live in nanny and photographer!  So many perks to having Sara around!)

There was this huge bucket for a digger that the kids loved.

 With Aunty Sara again!  Isn't this thing massive??

Cute one of all the kiddos!

 Here's a side view, Sara thinks it looks like a huge mouth ready to chomp up Ava.

A few more in the bucket, we hung out there for a while! I think my kids are in a lot of tourists photos! LOL!

We had fun playing on the huge tyres (this is how it is spelled in Australia, so I thought I'd better!)

Here we are at the actual look out point.

 As we were looking down in, Ava said, hey who left their toys here?  Haha!  That's how small the diggers and trucks looked!

And that about covers our visit to

(finish the sentence with the picture! LOL!)
