Day 4: Kalgoorlie
We took Henry back to the mechanic and he said the fuel pipe had kinked so they replaced the pipe and he should be as good as new...
Kalgoorlie-Boulder is host to the Super Pit. It is Australia's largest open cast gold mine. Originally it was lots of smaller mines with shafts but in the 80's the mines were consolidated and the in between bits between the shafts were blasted out and gold extracted from them.
The Super Pit is currently around 3.5km long, 1.5km wide and 360 meters deep. It's HUGE! Well worth seeing. The mine operates 24 hours, sadly we were always too tired and Henry was too sick to go out at night to see it all lit up, it would have been quite spectacular.
So back to Henry, he was still juddering and stalling so we called the RAC out again and they said to bring it in on Monday to their workshop, in the meantime Oly called Pop who had given us some numbers for mechanics in the area the day we limped in to Kalgoorlie and he said he would take a look at it tomorrow for us.
We are still smiling!
