Lazy bones slept too long to go to the dawn service!
Interesting day today, after Elaine did some washing we went sightseeing. I have heard about the super pit ever since Alan Bond first floated the idea and tried to get a huge gold mining combine going. He didn't suceed but born out of the idea came the companies that set up the so called Super Pit. Up to now I had never seen it and like a lot of other things that are just part of discussion it turned out to be unbelievably huge, and I mean huge. Lots of those huge haulpack trucks were actually dwarfed because of the distance away from us and we were standing in the lookout at the edge of the pit and they were a long way down. A real long way down! Elaine even found some rocks lying around with tiny, tiny specs of gold - maybe!!!
Then on to the Mt Charlotte Reservoir lookout. This is the end of Golden Pipeline where all the water from Mudaring is pumped. The view, as one would expect, superb.
On the way back we stopped at Bunnings to get a replacement tap for the leaking galley tap. Now that proved to be fun, firstly the fittings to join into our system were female and we needed male! So I used the old fittings, meaning the flexible hoses that connect to our system. Now all we have to do is clean up the mess that I made......in the morning!
