While in Kalgoorlie to get our new battery for van, went for a stroll around the Hannan St (main street) on Saturday & these are some of the old buildings lining the main drag. All these pubs & I haven't been down the side streets yet!!! Guess the boys enjoyed a cold beer after a hard day down the mine!!!

Hannan street, named after Paddy Hannan an Irishman who is accredited to finding the first gold here
