Gold Mine
Will probably stay for a week to catch up on computer work. Warm day, bright blue sky with a few fluffy clouds. The weather is still nice and warm during the day, very cold at night.
We drove over to Australia's new NSW open cut gold mine. As we got closer to Fort Bourke Lookout, there was no sign of a mine.
But as soon as we stood on the viewing platform and looked down, Yikes!! There was a very big, very deep hole, where they are digging the mine. This 'hole' is 125 metres from where we were standing, down to the base.
There was a small entrance to the mine right down at the the base, leading underground. Here they have started the underground phase. A very scary road wound its way down to the bottom, with a sheer drop on one side. 'Tis a long way down.
