Travelling Australia in the Summertime - Kalgoorlie Part One - Coca Cola, Brothels, Mining Pits
#cocacola #mining #caravan
Tonight on You Tube 6.30pm AEST
This week, join us for Part One of our Kalgoorlie adventure! Tracie scores a one-on-one tour of the stunning Kalgoorlie Town Hall and shares a sneak peek inside-don’t worry, a full walkthrough is coming soon! After a delicious lunch at a local Chinese restaurant, we visit the incredible Kalgoorlie Super Pit, one of the world’s largest open-pit gold mines. Measuring 3.5 km long, 1.5 km wide, and up to 600 m deep, this mine is a testament to human engineering and a cornerstone of Kalgoorlie's rich history, producing millions of ounces of gold over its lifetime​
Our journey continues with a visit to Australia’s tallest garbage bin (yes, it’s a thing!) and the bizarre story of a statue vandalism gone wrong. One vandal suffered a shocking consequence when Paddy Hannan's bronze statue head fell, crushing her toes. We also explore the Museum of the Goldfields, marveling at exhibits that include $4 million worth of gold and fascinating insights into the region's mining legacy​
And here’s where it gets intriguing-we visit Questa Casa, one of Australia’s oldest running brothels. While the visit didn’t meet our expectations, we uncovered some fascinating tales of the women who worked there, including an unusual use for Coca-Cola that might surprise you!

I remember one of our friends telling me that she didn't have any coke so she had used Creaming Soda! lol. A very sticky situation I would have thought! I also remember about 10 years ago seeing a day spa advertising that they offered "Champagne Douches" as one of their treatments. lol. Oh.................and one last thing!.......................I think it was a working brothel....................I mean $70!................you got screwed in there!

CB radios provide a cheap and reliable means of communications. The service operates in two distinct frequency bands-the high frequency (HF) band (26.965 - 27.405 MHz) and the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band (476.4125 - 477.4125 MHz).

      Hahahaha they are slip on sleeves. Jon usually only wears one on his right arm because when he is driving it was getting burnt. Thanks for watching

    As an indigenous woman I find it heart breaking to think what early contact was like. I don’t know how you’s managed to cope in that heat. I cease to function above 35 degree 🥵🥵🥵

      Honestly most of the places like this we have been to absolutely breaks my heart, I cannot even imagine what it would have been like for the indigenous people. With the heat I feel like our brains were fried lol. Thanks so much for watching

    It sounds pathetic in this day and age but I own every episode of bewitched on VHS and DVD and refuse to give them up! Darren was accused of stealing a bed warmer lol.

      The spiked edges on the convict bridge is used to stop cattle going over the edge. Well I do remember that from when we travelled Tassy.

    Oh dear! it hasn't improved. Please don't keep filming yourselves, film your surroundings, not yourselves, and if the sound is so bad as it was when John was videoing, please edit it and do voice-over so we can understand what is being said.

      Thanks for watching. In most videos we try to show what it's like for us as well as the beautiful scenery, however this particular video was not about scenery, we were talking to our viewers about what was happening with life. Your suggestions about voice-overs has been noted and I will try to figure out how to do this.

  • @johnrobinson1020
    @johnrobinson1020 29 днів тому

    It would be better if you videoed where you were walking instead of constantly having the camera focused on yourselves. But apart from that, it wasn't too bad. I'm sure you will improve as time goes on. You might think of doing some voice-over instead of reading live.

    Hi, watching YT to prepare our next trip and wow… what a small world… 11:43 this is us 🎉😊 or much more our rental RV. We were there between Nov 21st and 23rd. Was a great time and Broome is an amazing place! But unfortunately we haven‘t met. Maybe next time in October 2026 😊. Happy day, safe trip and sorry for taken your site 😉, Karen and Andy from Germany

    What? With jackets, hats and sandals on when swimming!!! Never seen the like! Why?

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints 28 днів тому

      The word is being Sunsmart with a hat and a sunshirt on, its not a jacket. And thongs on in the waterhole for better grip with the amount of slime. Thanks for watching 👀

    John the question should be who did not watch Gilligan Island when they were a child and if you didn't watch it there was something wrong with you😂
