super pit

visited the super pit in kalgoolie, just amazing, before the super pit the area was called the golden mile with lots of small underground mines and in the 80s Allan Bond started buying all the small leases and opencut mine all of it and get all the gold inbetween the mines but just before he got them all he went broke and another mining company bought it and finished his idea of opencut mining and its the richest mile of gold bearing ground in the world, im told each truck has about 4 or 5 ounces of gold [ size of golf ball ] in it.
