| In the Goldfields of Western Australia
From Kalgoorlie the road stretches northwards towards Menzies and through the older mining areas few people remember the names of.
At one time each place was home to several thousand people and towns were proclaimed almost monthly as rude huts quickly expanded into carefully designed streets complete with the usual clutch of hotels and drinking houses, then schools and initially at least, places to look after horses as the animals needed careful maintenance if they were to survive.
Today we take the motor vehicle for granted, but at the end of the 19th century you walked or rode everywhere and if you were ill and needed attention, you had no chance of getting to anything like a hospital, and the only medical services had to be contacted, then the doctor or nurse had to travel out to the patient, most of whom died.
Broad Arrow was a typical settlement of its kind in that era, with the remaining headstones reflecting the harsh realities of the day.
To find the cemetery it is necessary to drive past today's Paddington Gold Mine and look for the sighpost to a track on the right (eastern) side of the road.
Careful - a low clearance vehicle may not be the best as the path winds through scrub to eventually stop under trees and beside a fence. |
