Day 6-7 Kalgoorlie

Today we went to the SUPERPIT, a huge open cut gold mine in Kalgoorlie. It is over 500m deep. We saw big trucks driving up and down the pit. They were taking waste out of the pit and dumping it in the waste area. We saw a car which was squashed by one of the trucks - it was flat as a pizza!

Afterwards, we went to the Boulder markets and we bought some pretty rocks. Liv and Henry bought amethyst (purple quartz) and Will bought a blue stone. We also saw some gold that had been taken out of the pit. Dad had some soup and we watched the band play. We also bumped into Kevin and Caroline, friends of Grandma and Pa.

Tomorrow we're off to Perth!
