Effigy+ Far West Australia Trek

Post by mrsK »

I am standing at the very top of an open cut mine.

The cage is there for obvious reasons.......thank goodness.

This mine is a gold mine,also silver,copper but mainly gold.



I am hoping to get down into the mine with Effi & take some pics there as well.

Depending on security.

Then it was time to go for a dip in the pool.

I very carefully took this pic .

Grandson is holding the shirt .:-4

We are on the highway to Adelaide.

As far as you can see in this pic is the never ending highway.

Our daughter collects all "froggy" things.

This is a small part of her collection of the frog tiles.



Effigy hanging in a tree with a headframe from one of the local mines.

I will go forth tomorrow & take some more pics if the weather is nice.

The first pic is the entering our town from the eastern side heading towards Adelaide.

Typical mining town a pub on every corner.

The other pic is a memorial to all the local miners who have died down the mines.

Sadly I knew a lot of them.RIP.
