Pick one of the better suburbs otherwise you might run into problems.
Hampton Heights & Broadwood are the best suburbs going by my mate

Yeah my mrs had to go there a couple of months ago for work (nurse) and the place she was staying was about 500m front the hospital and she wasn't allowed to walk there and had to take a taxi each shift. So that must've been one of those areas.

At the main library at Curtin again.

Geez, some students must be too poor to have a home computer and home internet.

Because the noise coming from a computer (assuming a funny youtube video) with two foreign students cracking up loudly is giving people doing their thesis and a few others the Tom ****.

It's not a good time to visit Kalgoorlie at this time of the year- you won't get a flight for love nor money and there'd be no accommodation around, either.

Diggers and Dealers is on. Good.

Any reason for that though?

Can't give a reason that isn't racist.

I lived in Hannans, West Lamington and Kalgoorlie (near the racecourse) and they were all good. Not sure what those areas are like now, though. My brother lives in Lamington now and I haven't heard him complain. Guess that the area is still OK.

Hampton Heights & Broadwood is more safe been new areas.

Is Broadwood a lower density/larger block area? Where is Hampton Heights?
 
Broadwood and Hampton Heights are the newer suburb next to the airport as you drive in.

I've heard Ningamia is a pretty good area

ah, thanks. I found Broadwood- it's out where all the industrial area is...
And is Victory Heights out where the drive-in used to be?

Victory Heights is next to Boulder. Dont know where the drive-in was

I thought it was out that way but google history tells me it was up in Lamington- weird- I could've sworn it was down on that side of the airport. My hubby probably remembers better than I do.
 
Anyone moving to Kalgoorlie had better like red dirt, scrub, prospecting with a metal detector and drinking because that's about it.

As far as I know. Probably heritage listed.

I actually thought they were still in working condition but a recent article (last year) suggests that they are no longer viable:

Have they still got those tin shed brothels on Hay St?

They're a lot more colourful than I remember them being. I used to call them the 'starting stalls' cos they reminded me of horse racing starting gates :D

I think the skimpies still work the bars in Kal.

How great does this sound http://gatewaywa.com.au/assets/Publications/Factsheets/Land-Art.pdf

Should give a bit of wow factor to offset the industrial area.

I couldn't be more impressed with the project and its implementation.

I've had to go out to the international airport for the first time since that whole project started recently and it looks like another planet. Completely unrecognisable. Couldn't get back onto Leach Highway going south. There was no turn off. I just ended up on GE Highway. Thought I was in the Twilight Zone all of a sudden.

Hey guys. I'm not a huge poster when it comes to WA but I'm thinking of moving to Kalgoorlie.

Can anyone tell me what it would be like for a 26 year old Hobart kid who has only moved once (when I was 8) and how it would be? I'm sort of a bit anxious about the whole idea as it's for work, and a permanent position.

I've read up that it's basically a mining town with hookers/strippers. But I want to know - is it really just that? Surely there's more to the place.

I'm on my second stint out here and love it - plenty to do if you're willing to put yourself out there, particularly if you're keen on sport.

A good chunk of the population comes from everywhere else in the country, so people are pretty easygoing and good to deal with. ****ing freezing at the moment, but it's pretty good in summer - hot during the day but it cools down nicely at night.

Look at Kalgoorlie, Somerville, O'Connor or Hannans if you're looking for the best spots to live.
