Kalbarri to Kalgoorlie

To knackered to send a blog last night, what we set ourselves yesterday was just shy of 1200 ks to get to the mining town of  Kalgoorlie. On our departure from Kalbarri it was still raining and dark, with our arrival in Geraldton this will be our last look at the civilised world for about 10 hours. We turn the Ford to the east and off we go, the first small town we come to is Mullewa about 100 ks out of Geraldton. This place does not do much for us so we push on passing through small places like Pindar and  Yalgoo then arriving at Mt Magnet some 350ks east of Geraldton. This is the main stopover point for the transportation of mining equipment throughout this vast area, plenty of big rigs and big loads parked here. The tummy rumble is back for a couple of the travellers ,so 2big breckies coming up. With another 300 ks to Leinester we continue eastward arriving at Sandstone a small historic mining town about halfway to Leinster. My interest in this remote place is called London Bridge ,this is a sandstone natural formation in the form of an arch. My well laid plans are soon shattered due to heavy rain in the area ,yes the road is closed . Leinester will be our next stop some 600ks inland from Geraldton. To my surprise this well planned and well maintained place in the middle of nowhere is almost a ghost town. Able to house  4000 people this town is slowly dying ,as we fire up the jets and begin to head south the last 300 ks won't take long. The Ford has been making easy work of these huge mileages ,as the throttle is eased back we see flashing light approaching us from the other direction. This could be a ticket to the police mans ball, yes when they saw these 4 travellers get out of the car they knew we were harmless so we kicked into HAVA CHAT mode . No ticket so we head of to Leonora for a fuel stop ,this town has to much idle time as everybody seems to be doing nothing. Not far out of Leonora is GWALIA another mining town , but this one has a very deep hole called the pit . Very impressed with this operation ,this is the only place outside the USA to employ a future USA president ,his name was HUBERT HOVER. With time fast running out we head for Kalgoorie arriving just on dark, gotta eat again so hoo roo,,,,,,,,,,,,,WADDA
