I have been asked "where is Jokers Tunnel" from my profile photos, so here goes.

Jokers Tunnel is about 10 km's south of Yalgoo WA, it is site 21 of the Miners Pathway (oneday I will do a write up).

This is out of the book Gascoyne Murchison Outback Pathways.

"JOKERS TUNNEL
Located 10km south of Yalgoo, on the Paynes Find Road, is this testimony to early mining tenacity. Early gold prospectors dug more than 100m through solid roack in their determined search for gold. Imagine them here all those years ago digging their way through the hill with nothing more than a pick and shovel and some rudimentary blasting skills. The tunnel was named Jokers Mining lease and after discovering little gold in the hill. it certainly lived up to its name!"

These have been a very good way for us to travel and see WA, they allow us to do the trip without heaps of plaining.

I hope this works

Cheers
