Fantastic to see these bits of history in particular that photo of the 1961 class at North Kalgoorlie as I attended North Kalgoorlie (1953-56), and Kalgoorlie Central as we then moved to Cassidy Street and attended Kal Cenral. Very fond memories.
Hi Eric I will be posting up all of the 1950’s photos I have of North Kalgoorlie soon.
Just wondering if you could give us some information regarding the history of the current presbytery for the Catholic Church in Kalgoorlie. I believe it was originally a doctors’ residence.
Thank you.
