Our next stop was at Sandstone, Peter Denny Lookout.. It was a huge area on the edge of a breakaway formation with expansive views down the orange cliffs to the sea of spinifex scrub that extends to the horizon.
There are only garbage bins and a couple of concrete picnic tables.
There were only 4 caravans & 2 tent type campers there. Quite a number passed through to take in the view. We arrived by 11am and enjoyed the sun and the view but not the flies!
We then set out for Leonora, an active Gold mine, "The Sons of Gwalia" The open cut mine was hugmungus as were the huge hills they had created around it. There was a free camp 'On the top of a hill, no tree, no shelter from the wind, no nothing.....except for a museum ' we are mine museums do out! Down we went to the original village, parked in the parking area, cooked & ate our dinner, then went for a walk among the 'what was left' 
We had planned to stop there but chose to go on to find something better, kept driving & driving, wind got stronger & stronger. We stopped in a roadside stop , nobody there, so decided to go on to Kalgoorlie. We are at Centennial 24hr free park right in town. Must be FULLY self contained.
WELL....we put our sullage hose onto a tree (we arrived at 5pm) after having been blown down the Goldfields Highway, set up for the night with 15 other vans & had a good night in the wind & rain.
Slept in until 8am. Brian got out of bed & opened a blind to see the Ranger recording all number plates.......he put a sleeveless jack over his PJs & went to ask if we could have an extra night because the car is booked in for a service tomorrow. It was granted, recorded and were told to put that sullage hose away, a lidded container or grey water talk were necessary!!!! We have now complied.....
Had a nice day today driving around the big town. Originally there would be a Pub on every corner which have become other things now.
The local Baptist Church 
Also saw more wild flowers.
Yesterday we fueled up......serve yourself by credit card
We will move immediately after the car is serviced. It's a 7am booking....Brian will be delivered back for breakfast and picked up when the service is done. Pretty good.
Out for Dinner tonight, thanks to Jocelyn (Fathers Day).
Well, our dinner out was beautiful & thoroughly enjoyed.A lovely end to our day in Kalgoorlie.
