Parker Blows A Hole In Kalgoorlie's Super Pit Gold Mine | Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail

[@giantsdms]

That pit is the coolest thing Parker's Trail has covered yet, its unbelievable until you see it yourself

is it not cool in person?

@@ianmontgomery7534 they use GoPro's to film the camera guy...... the camera guy we see in the show has a GoPro mounted to his camera that is facing himself and when they ride in the cars, they put a GoPro on the seat in front of him to film him..... it' only one camera guy working multiple cameras and angles.

I visited the pit 3 years ago, the piles of excavated timber that shored up all the hundreds of tunnels dugout by the old timers was impressive in itself. No trees for hundreds of kilometers, all the timber hauled in from the South West of the state 700 km away at least.

[@ShiShawPocketSand]

I'd imagine those days you hoped for a heavier cart to bring home than you brought out.

[@dbaider9467]

Nice perspective! This video blew my mind.

[@allang3541]

Plenty of local timber was used by the old timers , nothing tougher than local silver gimlet for instance. Early days there were several local bush rail lines known as “ woodlines” horse and cart and later trains would bring timber in from the surrounding bush to fuel the condensers to make fresh water before the pipeline form Perth was commissioned. They bought timber in for the mines also. Grew up in kalg and spent a lot of time in the bush. Them old underground workings were all still being worked in the 80’s when the superpit was a scattering of smaller pits and owned by two different companies.

[@danielhendrickson9401]

Amazing.. large operation.. wish we could have seen more of it..

Thank you for posting this @Discovery Australia

[@MikeBova1]

I like to see the size of the tailings pile, its probably snow capped

[@ats-3693]

True story the older tailings piles around Kalgoorlie that were processed using older less efficient gold extraction methods still hold economic gold grades and are worth reprocessing when the gold price is right.
