What the heck is this thing I'm holding in the thumbnail? You'll find out through this day of exploring ruins with us! Today we are visiting the outstanding Gwalia museum where Steve breaks out the large format camera he's been hiding away in the Mercedes Sprinter van. Then its on towards Sandstone and Lake Mason as we follow the path of the old camel trains.
We have a convoy of eight vehicles including a Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 van, 200 series landcruiser, Isuzu Dmax and Nissan GQ Patrol. This is outback australian adventure at it's best, and an overlanding journey on many peoples bucket list.

Over the course of a week you will see 7 videos exploring the Goldfields region of Western Australia. There will be ghost towns, gold mining, prospecting, bush camping and outback exploring all along the way.

I really liked this episode. Something about the vibe. Rain on the corrugated tin buildings, coffee and buttered scones on the covered porch, the jaffel walk, and the history. I felt like I was there with you.

Gwalia should be on the bucket list of anyone who is interested in our history. A really fascinating place. The difference between Hoover House and the miners shacks really shows how hard life was for ordinary workers. It would be great is the State Hotel could be incorporated in the overall display. When we visited it was just sitting empty and wasn't being looked after. Always kick myself for not spending a night in Hoover House. Loving re-visiting these places. I took plenty of stills out there but not nearly enough video.
@Alex.G
@Alex.G 3 года назад
Yeah that was my second time there and I'd go back! Definitely would spend a night in Hoover house 😀 we spoke to the lady manning the counter at the museum in there and she did say they are negotiating purchase of the State Hotel, so we may see it as part of the display yet!

@R00RAL 3 года назад
Sons of Gwalia staff used the State Hotel as an office back in the 90’s. Last I seen it in good working order. Lawlers is south of Agnew. Near Pinnacles Station. Yet another open pit, however in 2018 when I was working at Agnew the Mill was about to fill the Pit with tailings. I lived in Sandstone not far from Agnew.
