a big fat waste of time

On paper it seemed like a good idea: ring the last few drops out of my rail pass with a quick 2-day excursion to Kalgoorlie, home of gold mining and legal prostitution, and with all the pubs to match. Also, go when the country music festivals on, should be a great couple of days! Sadly, mice and men and all that, and I actually ended up spending 80% of my time in Kal in bed with a mystery bug which floored me as soon as I arrived, so there was no pubs for me, just a couple of hours sightseeing before I got my train back on fri night. However, it wasn't a total waste of time, I did get something on my last day there: sunburn...
