Surely the Arts Centre must wait until the dog fighting arena is completed? And from what I can see, the arts, particularly karaoke and lawn bowls are booming. And I add a couple of shots for the benefit of BSWAM. Kalgoorlie has some great gold boom architecture (1890s) above street level, while downstairs ugly shop fronts have been chopped out, displaying fashions that someone from Belmont wouldn’t be seen in. And the town is also full of cunts. I guess it must be like Albany New York now that Thurston Howell has gone?

Great to see they also have karaoke in Hay Street these days. But why are those cars so clean? Where’s the red dust? I’m confused.

What they need is Shit by the Dirt. They could start with broken down Haulpaks left over from digging things up, decoratively arranged with skimpies.There’s Big Nuts for you.

Sculpt by the sea pieces are often bought by mining companies and rammed up some poor town’s south hedland.

I thought Big Nuts were a Western suburbs thing , to sparkle in the sunlight , and set off the Krautmobile.

Maybe the urgency is for demolishing the arts centre?

Kalgoorlie looks more like an Australian Red Hook – somewhere lived in enough to have worn off the ye olde quaint without losing the bones. It lacks Albany, NY’s gruesome we’re-still-stuck-in-1932-and-voting-for-Hoover quality…
…to say nothing of the Super-Villains Headquarters Architectural Derby that constitutes the Capitol district, where every generation or so, the city attempted to build a bigger, more expensive and uglier version of the same structure — and succeeded.
Note in picture linked above: world’s largest 19th century Bulgarian post office; State Corinthian Column Containment Area; Darth Vader’s beach cabana; Flying Saucers Vs. Last Place on Earth You’d Look For Them; acre or so of spare travertine (for the kids!); and Henry Hobson Richardson’s least-seen building. Note also: shadow cast by monolith from Kubrick horror film. Not shown: directly adjacent Fascist Deco skyscraper; Birdcage-Gothic Transportation offices; haunted mansion national zoo; Klingon University; abandoned cathedral; remaining portion of downtown that has not caved in all the way yet.

Well Hoover was part of the scene in Kal and Coolgardie before he became president did you know? Was a mining engineer there. Lots of shit named after him. He arrived just at the time these buildings were new.

I assume by “shit” you mean actual heaps of rotting shit. Otherwise the local council may have hitched their heritage wagon to a falling anvil.

There was def a Hoover Hall at school of mines. I should have taken a pic.

There’s also Hoover’s Cafe in the Palace Hotel, (as seen in these photos apparently taken by a one-legged photographer), which features the Hoover Mirror and alleged Hoover Love Poem. What is it with miners and poems? And of course there’s the Hoover B & B in Gwalia.

Oh, I took a pic of the mirror. Were some carved boozies.

Was it you TLA that defaced the carved mirror – or rather de-boozied? There’s a piece of the carving been torn off. It’s a boozie bit.
