  • In this video, we head back to 30th March 2014, taking a brief look at a train trip on the Prospector Railcar on a journey to Kalgoorlie, a distance of 650km from Perth, for an overnight stay in the Palace Hotel, before driving out to the public viewing lookout of the "Super-Pit" open cut gold mine, then returning to Kalgoorlie township to join a tour bus for an inside look at the mine operations. (My video camera was a first generation HD version; it had really good definition, but lacked somewhat in stability at higher zoom levels: You will notice some picture shaking in the shots taken at the higher zoom settings.) The music was once again kindly provided by Purple Planet Music. Please visit them at https:/www.purple-planet.com.

    Great video Terry. Just wondering which model Sony Handycam you used in this video?

      It is a Sony HDR-XR500. It has a 120GB HDD built in. A great camera still today. The built in viewfinder has bit the dust unfortunately. I now use a FDR-XR53, along with a DJI Pocket 2 for today's filming, with the XR500 as a back up.

      So sorry, never thought of it. It was only when I was going through my home vids I thought it would adapt well to UA-cam. I am learning, thanks to feedback from those who watch. Cheers.

      @bonzoAU why did it take you this long to mention something? This man does train trips, he would never thing to add this type of content for HIS viewers?

      My apologies, this man looks at the Tarim rides and what the/stops have to offer. This stop, being Kalgoorlie, is controversial. Shouldn’t have to report on it until he is comfortable, if be wishes.

    It's a 6 hour train journey not 8.

      Thanks. I had a look at the web site, which says "Less than 7 hours." You are correct. Well done.
