These two photos were taken on the desert edge, outside Kalgoorlie in 1998, just over 100 years after the big gold rush at Broad Arrow. These were taken on a small Panasonic camera, using Kodak film, and I scanned the photographs. The second photograph is of the Broad Arrow Tavern, which is one of only a handful of remaining buildings that have survived in the ghost town - I think there are three left . During the gold rush, Broad Arrow grew to over 2000 prospectors and businesses. It had a couple of pubs, two blacksmiths and a fever hospital tent. The pub still has the ashes of dead men from the past and there are tragic tales of a lady who hung herself over a table in the main bar.
