The Best Attractions In Laverton

1. Gwalia Leonora
Gwalia is a former gold-mining town located 233 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie and 828 kilometres east of Perth in Western Australia's Great Victoria Desert. Today, Gwalia is essentially a ghost town, having been largely deserted since the main source of employment, the Sons of Gwalia gold mine, closed in 1963. Just four kilometres north is the town of Leonora, which remains the hub for the area's mining and pastoral industries.

2. Hoover House B&B Leonora
Herbert Clark Hoover was an American engineer, businessman and politician who served as the 31st President of the United States from 1929 to 1933 during the Great Depression. A Republican, as Secretary of Commerce in the 1920s he introduced themes of efficiency in the business community and provided government support for standardization, efficiency and international trade. As president from 1929 to 1933, his domestic programs were overshadowed by the onset of the Great Depression. Hoover was defeated in a landslide election in 1932 by Democratic Franklin D. Roosevelt. After this loss, Hoover became staunchly conservative, and advocated against Roosevelt's New Deal policies. A lifelong Quaker, he became a successful mining engineer with a global perspective.

The Outback is the vast, remote interior of Australia. The Outback is more remote than those areas named the bush which is any location outside the main urban areas. While often envisaged as being arid, the Outback regions extend from the northern to southern Australian coastlines, and encompass a number of climatic zones; including tropical and monsoonal climates in northern areas, arid areas in the ‘red centre’ and semi-arid and temperate climates in southerly regions.Geographically, the Outback is unified by a combination of factors, most notably a low human population density, a largely intact, natural environment and, in many places, low-intensity land uses such as pastoralism in which production is reliant on the natural environment.Culturally, the Outback is deeply ingrained in ...

Destination WA - Laverton Caravan Park

At the beginning or the end of the Great Central Road, depending which way you are travelling, Laverton Caravan Park is a refreshing sight for the hot and weary traveller.

AUSTRALIA - Round Tour - Perth - Port Augusta - Alice Springs - Uluru - Olgas - Kalgoorlie – Perth

The footage for this film was recorded in Sep-Oct 2014, and this edit-version is from May 2018.
The 8750 km and other distances reported were my estimates based on Google Maps information. The real length of the journey was 9766 kilometres however, with an average of 250 km per day.
So apparently there was 1016 km more local driving than already taken into account in the estimate.
The total length in time was 39 days, from 20th of September until 28th of October 2014.

Road trip from Winton to Laverton. Beautiful Country.

10th July 2013 Great Central Gravel Pit to Warburton

Mike has a dream that night and decides to check the other rear disc on the Range Rover. Sure enough, it is about to explode like the other one so Brett gets his angle grinder out again and replicates the job he did on the other rear disk yesterday. Soon we are on the road again with a Range Rover that has no rear brakes at all. Tucky assures us that the trailer has brakes though so all should be OK.

We stop for fuel at Tjukayirla (try to pronounce that) to fuel up at $2.25 per litre which we are told will be 5c cheaper than Warburton. We pick up a frozen Roo tail out of the freezer at Tjukayirla and decide that Rootail therapy might be the go for Dinner the next night.

About 80-90km from Warburton Mike's Range Rover makes a new sound, this time it is a more Clunkedy Clunkety sound which is not good. A drive shaft support bush has now disintegrated and Brett comes to the rescue again removing the tailshaft altogether hoping that it can be driven with the front wheels only driving.
Unfortunately technology does not allow this and the Rangey's computer cannot get its head around the fact that it needs to drive the front wheels only.

The only solution now for the Range Rover is a rather a rather undignified tow from the oldest vehicle in the Convoy, Darius's old TOYOTA Troopy.
I go ahead in the HARDABUT Cruiser to try to organize accommodation for the Range Rover at Warburton while Mike gets the tow in.

We are able to arrange secure storage for the Rangey in a secure compound while it awaits a tilt tray trip of around 1500km back to Perth.

I get sent ahead to find a camp site out of town on the Connie Sue Highway whilst Mike arranges to have the Range Rover transported back to Perth and Brett hooks up Mike and Gemma's trailer so that Mike and Gemma can continue the adventure.

We settle in to a nice site not far off the track with plenty of firewood after I push over several dead trees with the HARDABUT Cruiser, and we enjoy another great campfire and a fantastic lightning show and a brief thunderstorm later in the evening.

We are at the start of our journey on the Connie Sue Highway.

The last 10K of the Great Central Road to Uluru

I would say, the last 200km is the craziest road condition ever, it makes serious vibration to vehicles, and i lost my number plate because of that, just crazy! I met a guy who Drove from Uluru ,he only made 100km and he got 2 flat tire with his car....

8th July 2013 Ora Banda to Kookynie

We Set off from Ora Banda and pass through Siberia on the way to Lake Ballard and the sculptures by Antony Gormley. We lunch at the lake and then travel to Menzies, and on to Niagra Dam and the iconic Pub at Kookynie where we drop in for a beer after setting up camp a few k's out of town. We return later to camp for dinner and Mal arcs up his projector with the help of Bretts 1000w inverter so we can watch Mad Max 1 on a canvas screen by the campfire.

Royal Melbourne Private Hospital from outside Australia

I had trouble finding the Royal Melbourne PRIVATE hospital, it's round the corner from the main buildings if you get off the tram. I took the tram from Elizabeth st and Flinders, 81 I think it was.

Level 4 has the suites numbered so make sure you know what suite number you're going to. private x-ray and path labs on ground floor (lift) or below ground looking from outside. Level 1 in lift is the coffee shop and entrance.

metal detecting nov 2017

This was maybe the last chance we had to make a video on metal detecting for the 2017 season. Winter is almost there and it was a bit cold! With no a lot of time on my hands, tryed two different places in two afternoons. Today i went back to the trusty old silver eden as we call it. It's an ancient beach and camping site turned into a park. Benn hunting there for at least 15 years and still managed a few silver coins !
