3 October – Kalgoorlie to past Balladonia

Today is the first day of our journey home and only 2935kms to go. As we left the goldfields area we had a look at what’s left of Coolgardie but most of it seemed to have been carted away many years ago.

The 2 guys who discovered gold here in 1892 and picked up 554 ounces in one afternoon. Six years later there were 2 stock exchanges and 26 hotels in this town. Today there are 2 hotels and a dog.

After a long drive east we stopped beside the highway at a free camp spot.
