Mining people are a special people. They are always ready to help and share so sometimes visiting mine sites lead to finding unexpected gems as happened recently. On my way home after a brilliant time on site I was taken to the Gwalia “ghost town” for 10 minutes before being dropped at the airport for my flight. One of the most memorable 10 minutes for a while for me so I thought I’d share a scene from one of the miners cottages frozen in time. #leica #gold #goldmine #gwalia
Well worth the look. I was fortunate enough to have a look around recently after my visit to the office. What an awesome time capsule, especially the jail. Couldn’t imagine being a gold thief back in the day and being sentenced to hang after spending several months in the jail during 45 deg summer heat. That alone would be punishment enough and would welcome the gallows. 😎

2moI grew up in Leonora and lived in this very ghost town as a child. I have such fond memories of the area and in particular the centenary celebrations where my family, and I got to make up one of those little houses. Believe it or not, my sister and I used to spend many hours building cubby houses in the mine shafts in the area (they were not fenced off back in those days). Gosh, this post makes me sound ancient, but I think it's more that safety has progressed quite quickly in the last 30 years. 😂 A wonderful blast from the past - Thank you for sharing!
