Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 2025. Those time zones sure mess with your head. There is a time zone just for that area. I think it was about 45 minutes difference. Too far from Adelaide to use theirs, too far from Perth for theirs. It made for interesting times on our phones when we came through at the end of September, Noel’s phone time was different to mine. We were so confused. Glad when we moved further East and the time synced the same. You were lucky to stay at the Cliffs as now they are closed, lots of cracks appearing along there. No way would I stand close. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻

Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too! It was pretty frustrating; we spent the first few hours confused about what time it was. There are still some areas on the cliffs open for camping, our daughter stayed on them a few weeks ago. Thanks for watching

@onlyleavingfootprints19 күн бұрын
Sorry you thought that. We were both keen to see the workings of the brothel and to chat to the girls about their life as you can in other countries. No different to chatting to workers in any other industry. What we were disappointed about was the fact that this is advertised as a working brothel, yet it is not. Anyway, thanks for watching

Do you have the App for the drone. Noel turns that annoying message on the no fly area off. The App will tell you where you can and can’t fly. We won’t be taking our drone on holidays again, too many restrictions. Going to give the Insta360 camera a run next time on the ten foot pole, that can be the pretend drone lol. Just means Noel will have to hold it. The old two up shed was interesting. Back in 2015 when we rode our bikes (Spyders) over that way I was determined to get in to see it. Very slow trip in but we made it. We are dreaming of our next trip away, just not sure when yet. Bit of a decision on whether to take the Geni or not, depends on our weights. And would we use it. 😀

Jon said we did have the app on his old phone and has since forgotten about it, thanks for reminding him about that lol. Even so, we forgot even about using the app to check arghhh .

I was in Kalgoorlie from 2002ish for 6 years living on hay st , all 3 of the brothels were active then , but apparently the fun time were just prior to my arrival , with the lines fro that brothel went around the block . Kalgoorlie was sort of treated like a special area zone where the laws of Australia were watered down a bit but that change and the place got sanitised in around 2008 or so a new Chief cop decided to crack down on the silliness . RIP the Kal i Knew .
