Next stop, the Boulder sweet shop, certainly worth a look see. Lollies from your childhood, whether you're an Aussie, N. Zealander, Pom or American, something sweet for everyone.
At the top end of Boulder is the a very large hole..............
These tyres are off the dump trucks.......imagine how tall they are standing up!
The trucks travel up and down the sides of the massive hole that is behind the wire fence.
I'm standing inside a bucket that was used to lift the blasted rock into a dump truck. On counting, the trucks appear to hold around six bucket loads.
These three trucks are just a few of those that are continually travelling up the sides of the inverted mountain.
It is from this huge open pit that Kalgoorlie gold is
extracted. http://www1.superpit.com.au/kcgm_virtual_pit/index.html
