Grey Gypsies of Australia
Western Australia - 2010
On the way we passed through taller forest with lots of mine holes that looked as if prospecting was still going strong... The last ruins were of the former Premier Hotel at Kunanalling, a luxury hotel of the 1890s that catered to the carriage trade or lucky miners celebrating their new riches. I can envisage that even now some philanthropist and history buff who is also canny at business may like to restore it and tempt the passing tourists to stay and dine. We can recommend this fascinating trail that documents the rise and falls of rail, the pastoral industry and mining in this harsh but beautiful landscape. PS: Don't forget your metal detector!
