Is it Furthest or Farthest?

Well, which ever one is right, I am talking about a 'little' trip East today, to Kalgoorlie.
700kms to be presact!
I was invited to deliver a day on RPL (Rocognition of Prior Learning) at Curtin Uni for their trades people, an all-expenses flight to 'Kal' was booked and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Kal is a mining town and is rather 'unique' in many ways!!!
The architecture is similar to York, where we went a few weeks ago, but Kal is bigger. It's only had a bitumen road for a few years! Before that, it was red dirt! It feels like you're walking into a western movie with cowboys etc?

Lots of 'hotels' of 'reputable' fame??And MASSIVE holes in the ground, which are gold mines! The red circles I've put here are hard to see, so click on the picture to see a bigger version, but the circles outline those super-trucks you may have seen in quarries? Each one carries 250 Tons of rock and only every eighth truck contains enough gold the size of a pea!!! They make 8 to 10 bars of gold per day and this super-pit is almost a kilometer deep!!!
I asked why they dig all the rock out with such tiny trucks, which amuzed the locals, so they showed me a bucket that each truck takes THREE scoops to fill it up. Only then did I realize just how piggin HUGE these things are!
Then on to the local 'entertainment' in the bush, which 'used' to be used for 2-up. A gambling game. The hut below is the 'Hilton' of Kal. It only has 2 metres of gutter, so when it rains, you're the lucky one if you get to stand under it!
