Today we rested a bit but continued in the afternoon. We went and viewed the super pit, which is the largest open pit minein Australia. We drove throughKalgoorlie looking at the old buildings, it was too late for us to go to church so we continued on, going through Kambalda. Kambalda was formed when nickel was found but it is a dying town now as the price of nickel has fallen so much. It is sad to see a town so neglected but we thought the same thhing about Tom Price when it was nearly empty of people and you could have got a house for a pittance andit has come back and is now booming.
We stopped at another nice free camp that has been done up with new toilets,hope this is a good sign of new rest stops all theway, but I think it will only be until the borderwith South Australia. They seem to not worry about the west side of their state.
