Travel Pictures.

I went to a town called Kalgoorlie on the weekend, a goldmining town in Western Australia.
I took a few pictures around town just for interest. It was early morning and the light was bad, I was trying to avoid traffic as the town does get quite busy.

Most of the hotels and buildings shown were built around 1900 at the height of the gold rush. Australian states has had only recently federated to form Australia about this time. It was a new country and feeling its way.

The style of architecture is a bit unique and is known as Goldfields Federation.

The Palace Hotel in the next bracket was the water hole of a young American Engineer by the name of Herbert Hoover. He did all right for himself going on to become President of the USA.

Take it easy.

Very nice! I once visited the town of Ballarat, somewhere between Melbourne and Waarnambool and loved it, even tho it was very touristy, hey! I was a tourist! I learned a lot.
Nice pictures! I may need to get down there again.

Those are nice pictures. So clear. I also like the angles or perspectives of the pictures. These are postcard-worthy!

With summer coming, I hope others share. That way we all can take several virtual vacations .
