What's to see in the Eastern Goldfields? Kal to Laverton in 3.5 days

Hi Peter,

I saw them both coming back from GCR last year. The dam is a pretty fine piece engineering out in the sticks; We were the only customers at the Pub - the beer tasted nice too!!!

Cheers
Alan

Hi Dunc,

I will check it out, as the route you mention is roughly the way I was thinking of going.

Regards
Alan

ill sort you out a short detour (actually its a short cut) tomorrow at work that takes in an old telegraph line, a coupleof Gnamma holes and hunts pinnacles if you go that way

Thanks for that; Hunts Pinnacles sound interesting...

My email addy is in my profile.
Cheers
Alan

righto - heres a cutn paste from a while back - if the directions look dodgey then follow your nose from the map


Hunts pinnacles
After Seeing these Pinnacles onmy previos trip to Queen Victoria Springs I decided to go for a look
I took off from kalgoorlie and headed n/e along yarria road past kanowna belle Mine and then the Hills which make a good playground. Just after the hills it is east onto the Kurnalpi pinjin road until (all 51j) e 437829 n 6626541 where there is a grid and you turnleft following the fenceline until e437476 n6628665 where you come to yowie rockhole and turn r through an open gate onto an old telegraph line. e4445588 gilgarna rock and rockhole kso until e445591 n 6644036 where there is an open gate but you head left (n) if you go straight on you rejoin the Kurnalpi pinjin road. e443803 n 6620269 there is a tank alongside the track and looking to your left is Hunts Pinnicles you drive accross the samphire salt pan to get to it e442633 n6649896. They are a series of steep hills grouped together that tower above the flat soroundings with breakaway formations at there base and caves higher up with a cairn atop the highest pinnicle. This trip is easily do able as a day trip from kalgoorlie or can be part of a longer trip to Queen victoria Springs




hers a pic from the telegraph line which gos to old pinjun (well worth a look in itself.


the pinnacles are maybe a bit less impressive than they sound but are an interesting diversion in a pretty flat area

id scan some pics if i was home. You can see them off in the distance from gilgarna rockhole and i new i had to have a gander

sorry try this

Thanks for the info Davoe!!

Cheers......Lionel.

Hi Kanga - MM sent

Lionel,

It's hardly a little place :)
I remember walking back from the pub in the nineties when I working in the area, always avoided the place - one of the commandments you know - do not yield to temptation, something like that!!!

Cheers
Alan

Back before metrics came the street address there was no 69 hay st. But the metric conversion changed ot to 181.
