22.01.2022 This photo of the Kalgoorlie Pool was recently sent to me. The sender said it was taken at the opening, but Im not sure about that. What do you think? Its also odd they are swimming across the pool and not in the lanes.

20.01.2022 How very bizarre, has anyone heard of this before??? Back to Nature: A party of ¡coastal visitors who recently went shooting in the bush "somewhere in the vicinity" of the Glue-pot on the Ora Banda pipeline are convinced that there is a nudist colony established on the Goldfields. ... The car carrying the shooters was 'pulled up' when signs of a kangaroo having travelled across the road were noticed and one of the party leapt out. He "drew a bead" on a figure fleeing through the scrub, only to drop his rifle when he realised from the pale pelt of his quarry, that it was a naked man. Momentarily taken aback, the party halted and then, peering further into the bush, they noticed the forms of some 15 or 20 sun-lovers of both sexes covered in nothing else but embarrassed looks. The shooters were loth to disturb the idyllic scene and hastily departed. Western Mail - Thursday 1 September 1949, page 14

04.01.2022 Just came across this unusual emblem on a grave. The gun with a bayonet is obviously because the young man was a soldier and was killed in action, but Im not sure what the HA overlapped stands. Does anyone know.
