Yesterday’s weather prediction for a 1 degree morning was spot on! Thank heavens for the heater. After brekkie, we went into Kalgoorlie to pick up mail from the post office. Then the Dome Coffee House called, with Hot Chocolates and a gigantic chocolate chip biscuit. After that a little bit of essential purchasing (eg hardware, camping store and fuel). Rick went into Kalgoorlie Toyota to get a quote on replacing his seat-belt. After he’d picked himself back up off the floor, he came outside to tell me that no, he didn’t think we’d bother. $501 + GST – and that’s only for one seat-belt. According to Toyota, as long as it still grabs when stopping, it will work fine. It’s only the retracting reel which is giving up the ghost.
Then we went to the Super Pit. It’s an amazing concept and has been carried out wonderfully so far. The link below goes to the KCGM web-site which gives a really good overview. Have a look through the various pages – it’s really fascinating. I've also included a couple of photos for those who don't feel like going further.

Great site Rick and Lea. I particularly like the photo of the van.
