South West Loop: Day 2

We woke up nursing a hangover and rolled out of bed in search of breakfast and in true Kalgoorlie style we rocked up to Hannan's Hotel for a skimpy brekky - The Best Brekky In Town. Certainly one with the best view ("It's at the bottom of the fridge, darl, at the back..."). They have a 6am...

Big Things #18

The Big Camera in Meckering, WA, is the shell for a camera museum. It's located on the Great Eastern Highway, the road between Perth and Kalgoorlie which is ironic as there's fuck all to photograph on this road apart from the Golden Pipeline which is the 650km pipeline that transports...

South West Loop: Day 1

It's a weird one is Kal, it's a mining town with a populaton of about 30000, 80% of which are blokes. The roads are really, really wide (goes back to when camels were the main form of transport, you can't back a camel train up so they just made the roads wider to turn them round instead) which...

Vending Machine

I made a trip to the vending machine to buy some potato chips. The vending machine is at the other end of the building and down two floors so its quite a journey. When I got there I discovered I just had enough coinage for my purchase, and much to my dismay,one coin was actually a New Zealand...

Happy Easter

I wanted to blog about the four day Easter Weekend as it marked the end of the four and half months in the city I fell in love with but as it was conducted entirely through a haze of goon and sleep deprivation you'll have to wade through the following bollocks to find some...

Blogabog

My trip to the crapper ended up more intersting than I had originally planned. After deciding I needed to do a 'number 2' I left my office cubicle and proceded to the mens post haste! I was stopped half way to the mens by my temporary boss whom updated me on my work situation at the moment and...

How many Shanahans does it take?????

How many Shanahans does it take to make tarps and a annex for the super vehicle? Chris was the driving force and enjoyed directing the process. Nettie, Chris, Liz, Lili, Jacinta, and the James worked over the Easter weekend to create a quite unique -in keeping- tarp and annex for the truck. ...

Back witht he Rellies!

April 5 Today we were meant to go to the beach as Sue had left her car for us. We managed to put some washing on, upload some photos and go to the shop for some food shopping. We never got to the beach! In the evening we went to a local pub - the Imperial. Here we met a couple of Sues crazy...
