I Forgot the Camera


As explained in the previous blog it was off to the Tom Price Mines "Single mens Quarters" for dinner last night. After much buffing and polishing we headed off in our best shorts, T-shirts and sandels ready for a big Saturday night at the Bistro. We entered with great anticipation at the fun for the night ahead. The Bistro was WELL lite with flouros (not a good sign) everything gleamed with cleanliness and even the staff had gloves and hats on (this really isn't Vue de Monde is it) Straight to the bar we headed - we needed a drink.
Do you have a wine list? Ron asked, "WHAT!!! errrr we have those bottles over there on the counter", was the reply from the over clothed young LADY . Oh dear this is not starting out as planned. After much hesitation we selected the bottle with the blue label and proceeded to check out the food. Amazing, Asian, Roasts, Steaks, fresh fish, lots of salads, roast vegies, 6 or so deserts including puddings, custards and everything in between. Hmmmmm we could put weight on in here.
The the much anticipated arrivals of the single men. You know in a country that is pretty well balanced in gender (us excluded) there has to be a reason for soooooo many single men in one place - NO ONE WANTS THEM (mothers excluded). So we ate and ate and ate some more.
To get ourselves ready for last nights gourmet feast we climbed (yes, climbed from the bottom) WA's tallest mountain, which is named Mt. Nameless (as its next to the Rio Tinto Iron Ore mine and is next in line). This is a pic from the top.
