Naughty Nickers!

We wandered into Kalgoorlie smiling about how amazing our country is especially the outback where people will make the most of nothing. Once again a lady owned this cafe. I would love to be able to put some words together about my admiration for the new role of women in the bush and is it so different from the pioneer women. Maybe some day. Remember the Cocky's Wife Cafe in Nyngan. I also met a cocky's wife at Karinjini from the wheat belt who had picked and shelled sandalwood nuts to sell in the hard times. They are apparently on the market now so keep an eye out for them. She said they taste like a Brazil nut.

Lets get to the naughty nickers.
The last time I decided to take Pa out for lunch was in Dampier. I forgot we were in a mining town!! Silly me.
When we wandered into the bar to order lunch there she was fully equipped with a body that would make El green and more on the outside than in. It was naughty nickers Thursday.
Pa was valiant as always and was able to order lunch with great great dignity.

So when I decided to take him out to lunch at one of the amazing old pubs in Kalgoorlie I was on the job. When he was about to open the door to the Wild West Bar I headed him off to the Paddies bar at the side of the pub. Good fielding even if I say so.

The hotel was heritage listed and they were restoring it. I went for a wander to check out the progress and had a quick check of the Wild West Bar. OMG. I think even Pa's dignity would have struggled. Of couse I was busting to wander in and chat to the girls about their Award but a young woman appeared from nowhere and asked if there was anything she could help me with "love". I explained I was a heritage lover and was admiring the restoration!!  I think she struggled with that.

The meal was excellent and I saved Pa!!
