Day 14 - Kalgoorlie to Perth [650 km] - The Last Day!

Marg and I went for a walk around Kalgoorlie town last evening. It's big town with lots of lovely old pubs (mining town prerequisite)

Railway station...

... and our accommodation - The Railway Hotel.

Despite being our last night, the dinner was quiet (but most enjoyable). Perhaps some were a bit tired.

After an early breakfast we started on the last leg of our journey. The first stop was Coolgardie, an old mining town with lots of marvelous old buildings. It was still quite cold at that hour.

It was a day for driving rather than visiting places. The countryside was distinctly changing; we were in the Wheat Belt where WA produces a large percentage of its wheat. It's very productive wheat & sheep country.

On the way we did a slight detour to have a look at some painted grain silos near Merridin.

More wheat country and we stopped at the small town of Cunderdin for lunch. Although this town boasts 'an Ettamogah Pub' Marg and I refused to take a photograph as we thought that the original pub with that name was to the north of Brisbane. However a simple web search shows at least two pubs with the same name in NSW (as also pointed out to us by one of our travel companions)

No more adventures, no more pubs. Clear drive to Perth.

Although we were (kind of) sad to finish the trip it was a happy crew that we said goodbye to. They were a good mob - helpful seasoned travelers. Wish them all the best, especially Jessa and Barb for delivering us to Perth safely.

A welcome sight at the East Perth Railway Station - Chamara & Niroshini there to pick us up.
