Join me as we dive into the history surrounding the hard working men and women known as the 'Woodline workers'. The Woodlines are found South of Coolgardie in an area rich with aboriginal history, lush with native vegetation and Western Australian wildlife.

As always Salty, a great vid - I really appreciate your drone footage. I was told a few years ago that more timber was taken out of the Woodlands for mine supports and feeding steam engines than has ever been taken out of the South West forests. A great book is Bill Bunbury’s “Timber for Gold: Life on the Goldfields Woodlines”. Keep them coming Salty!

@@SaltyDavenport There used to be a wood company called Lake wood wood company, stationed at Fimenston south of Kalgoorlie, This company cut wood for 200 Plus MILES around Kal before the pipeline was built. Timber was also used to shore up underground diggings. As kids we used to climb all over the locos store there. Discovered an old straight eight car there one day, just left there to rot, would be worth thousands today. Sadly it's all gone now supper pit swallowed it all up and lake is now dry.

I am going to do a trip to Coolgardie and south to Burra Rock for the first night and then down to Cave Hill and west to Victoria Rock and Mt Holland for the second night. I will then travel through Narembeen and Bruce Rock to Shackleton where my in-laws had a farm spending my last night at Kockerbin Rock near Kwollyn and then home to Perth. Have just been waiting for the weather to improve.

Thought it was great (especially as I grew up born/bred Kambalda/Norseman until the age of 18) and been to all these places back in the day. I'm an old geography teacher today though, and the small Stirling Ranges, many miles away, don't factor much (if at all) in blocking any SW frontal rainfall to those parts Salty. Curious how many donkeys, wild dogs (even a camel) you might've seen on your travels? Consider taking a yabby net, and a metal detector, with you next foray cobber!

Thanks Darren. I would have imagined they would play some part but I guess theyre not long enough to matter too much. I always have a Yabby trap with me ;) In 5yrs (200k + kms) Ive seen 1 dead camel, several donkeys and zero wild dogs. Although I heard a pack one night.

@@Alan.livingston hi Alan yes I know wild dogs are a big problem . I even considered becoming a dogger at one time and if I was a bit younger I would've. I love being out bush and I don't mind being on my own for long periods. I was supporting salty in being able to take our best mates with us when we go bush. Most of the dogs that become problems are from communities and discarded animals. The pure dingo on the other hand is a magnificent animal and the basis of one of the best dogs ever bread

The woodlands have recovered well since the timber harvesting stopped. Some trees were planted around the town sites but as the trees were felled there was a massive seed bank left behind with the residue. When large rain events occur the trees take advantage and germinate en masse. Some of the tree species coppice as well, so the well developed roots allow the tree to recover quickly and regrow. I lived the first 30 years of my life between Esperance and Kalgoorlie (or Boulder more correctly!) and I love the bush around the goldfields, especially in springtime.
