1. The Super Pit

The name alone will get your blood rushing with excitement! The Super Pit is actually an open cut mine. There is a visitor centre that overlooks it. And every 1:00 p.m the mine blasts and if you are lucky you will get to see old shafts with abandoned equipment and vehicles from the previous mines. The mine will continue to operate 24/7 until 2017. After that the authorities will let the ground water seep and it is estimated that it will take more or less 50 years to completely fill the pit. That is how big it is!

2. The Kalgoorlie Post Office

Have you ever seen a building constructed of soft pink stone? No? Then its time for you to visit the Kalgoorlie Post Office. The construction was completed in 1899. Its construction was in response to the rapid growth and development of the town.

Adjoining the post office are the Government Precinct, the Warden’s Court and Offices, the Mines Department and the Courts of Justice. These buildings were built around the same time and demonstrates the Federation Free Classical Style.

3. The Kalgoorlie Hotel/ Judds Pub

You must be tired and hungry after all that excitement. Judds Pub offers their mouth watering woodfired pizzas. If you are not in for some pizzas then they have fine dining upstairs on the balcony overlooking the town.

They not only offer food but they offer quality and wonderful service!

Just enjoy and forget about all your troubles. You only get to live once so live it to the fullest. But never forget to tell me all about your adventure!
