This dam was built about 100 years ago and is the source for the 650km water pipeline that goes to Kalgoorlie as well as serving the local area. The water is so low at present that you can see the sleepers of the original train line.
LAKE LESCHENAULTIA a freshwater lake fed by five streams. This is a really popular spot in the summer time for bathers and canoeists as in the summer they have temperatures up to 45 degrees.
1895 RAIL TUNNEL in the John Forrest National Park, it must of been at least 500 metres long and the ceiling with all the brick work was very impressive. When walking through it was pitch black in the middle.
SIMON with the cute family dogs on their property at Bakers Hill. When you drive through these towns you think that there is only the hotel, general store and servo but venture out and in Bakers Hill there are several new subdivisions with homes on 5 acre blocks.
