| ROFLMAO, ah I just raised my beer as that photo came up. Of course, I didn't consider it to be made from wine or water bottles.... only because the Grey Cup is starting and beer/pizza is the menu tonight for the football game. Cheers John. Thanks for the laugh. Take care Toni

| Paddy Hannan Quote:
Paddy Hannan is credited with finding gold at Kalgoorlie. Thus the founding of the city. Hence we have Hannan Street, The Hannan Hotel, Used to have Hannan's Brewery, and have a bronze statue of him outside the Town Hall, holding a water bag which is a drinking fountain. In 1893 Paddy and 2 mates decided to explore the Kalgoorlie area when one of the horses threw a shoe. They camped the night and the next morning had a bit of a fosic around and found a couple of nuggets. Over the next couple of days they collected over 100 oz's of gold. Hope you find this interesting.

| John, the reason I asked is that when I'm not scrolling and the such I enjoy going to google earth and check out different place. A poor man's vacation I guess. I looked up your town and saw quite a bit--Richard aka thumbs

| Quite a tower, although perhaps a little dangerous. What a nightmare you would have if someone ran into it. How many neighbours could you startle? Tor
