Ripping Yarns & Tragic Tales – 3 October 2021

Hi Everyone, and a big welcome to all of our 49 new readers. We hope that you will stick with us and that you enjoy the stories to come as much as I enjoy finding them. At this time there are over 1300 stories on the blog so I am sure if you take the time to browse you will find something to interest you. Remember, all stories may be shared.

As usual each year my husband has most of this week off work for the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Race Round. For those of you who are devoted annual attendees of this huge event, you will know that it can be ‘grueling’ and requires considerable staying power and stamina. One event is closely followed by the other and there is little time for rest between. Also, other events tend to also be held during the week to take advantage of the extra numbers already ‘in situ’.

Ex-Pat Goldfielders come from all over to visit family and friends. Accommodation is always at bursting point. However!! I’m afraid that I have to admit that I did attend once, 30yrs ago, and decided it wasn’t for me and haven’t been since. My role, as always, is purely a support one and I content myself with keeping the home fires going and picking up and dropping off as required. If you would like to know how this eventful week came into being there is a story on this week’s blog. So if you are reading this, and you have been attending, I hope that you enjoyed it all. Have a safe trip home.

Bye for now and see you next week.

My name is Moya Sharp, I live in Kalgoorlie Western Australia and have worked most of my adult life in the history/museum industry. I have been passionate about history for as long as I can remember and in particular the history of my adopted home the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Through my website I am committed to providing as many records and photographs free to any one who is interested in the family and local history of the region.
