What inspired me to travel alone Southwestern Australia this time,
I had plenty of free time before Christmas and I had never been to some places in WA.
First of all I checked availability of transport from Perth to Kalgoorlie, Esperance and Albany,
then booked Transwa trains, buses and accommodations.
Transwa ( http://www.transwa.wa.gov.au/ )
Accommodation (Booking.com)
It took a little time to organise everything but I did it bymyself.

| Prospector (Transwa train) departure from East Perth at 7:10 AM Tue 16th Dec for Kalgoorlie. I stayed in Perth the day before, then walked to East Perth Train station. |

17 Dec wed
After checking out, I left my hand luggage in the hotel, got on a local bus from the Exchange Hotel busstop in Kalgoorlie to the Lane St. busstop in Boulder Town. It took about 20 min.
I walked around a little bit in the town and tried to catch a taxi.
When I asked a lady who works at the Community Hub on the Burt Street how to find a taxi,
she kindly helped me to call a taxi from there to Super Pit.
It took about 3 min to get there.

| 17 Dec wed 10:30AM I got on a taxi from this place. |
is the largest working gold mine in the Southern Hemisphere and it produces up to 850,000 ounces of gold every year and its operation far outweighs any other mining centre in Australia, managed by Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM)
 |
| just passed the entrance gate at Super Pit. |
 |
| Super Pit Lookout ($Free) |
 |
| Super Pit view from the Lookout, it's amazing. |
 |
| back in a return taxi , the driver was waiting for me for a few minutes at Super Pit lookout. it was enough time to stop there. |
I had time in Kalgoorlie, I went to a local handmade craft shop.
left Kalgoorlie at 14:30 by a Transwa bus for heading down to Esperance.
