Bung Wall Walk

This afternoon I took the dogs & camera out to the south end of town and took photos from the lookout and also on the other side of the highway from one of the bung walls (a bung wall is a "safety rail" wall of rock piled up around unused open mine pits). Some of my friends plus Gary's kids want more photos of the town and some idea of the layout, so I'm going to do a bit of a town photo safari most days, then come up with some kind of photo/map tour arrangement with it all.

Looking across some of the old open pit mine gullies

Hill Street - Gary's house is hidden in the trees at the lower
right hand corner. The streets are all really wide! If you keep
going straight ahead then left you come to my house.

The dogs love the space and I never get tired of the colours

The bung wall sweeps around to the left. In the centre of shot
is a tiny old cemetery; don't know the story yet!

Hopefully Gary will know who this guy was - a lonely mine pit grave

It's huge, huge - right on the edge of town,
many hundreds of feet deep

Boy, the fool, walking on the edge of a hundred foot drop

Norm, the local mechanic, made these steel cutouts
of kangaroos and the town put them in the creek park

Meekatharra from the lookout - my house is at the base
of the water tower in the far left corner
