Our friends Tina and Wendy, otherwise known as the Langer sisters, live in Kalgoorlie, a mining town east of Perth. As far as I know, neither of them is a miner (although they were both minors when I first met them).
The town was founded during a gold rush in 1893 and mining is still one of its primary industries. Take a look at some of the exquisite old Federation style buildings around town and it quickly becomes clear that a lot of money has passed through this town over the years.
I like the bottom building. But I would, it reminds me of the Caribbean!
