Well the bright side of a broken axel and illness is a detour to Kalgoorlie. Not that I particularly loved Kalgoorlie, but I loved making the detour to this rather famous gold town and the further detours beyond.

We did the tourist thing, Super Pit mine, museum etc, braved some boiling hot weather then the pursuing rain. Confirmed my diagnosis of Ross River Virus and picked up the axel which Brad fitted to the trailer.

Been here, done that, now heading north as I insist on seeing the statue art at Lake Ballard.
