Walghana and $24 pizza

The aboriginal word for Walga rock, the second biggest monolith in WA. It's much lower than Uluru but impressive none the less. Famous for the painting of a sailing boat among the traditional aboriginal rock art images. Now thought to have been painted by a Malay pearl diver who settled in the district. Worth a visit, especially when you have the place to yourself like we did. Lots of goats and resting Roos of course, and an impressive goanna.
We then rocketed across the red soil to Big Bell Mine, home to the longest bar in Australia at the time, 1935-55. Then nothing.
Cruised back to Cue in time for the start of the grand final rematch. The pub opened specially, if reluctantly, judging by the old fashioned service (I mean that in a bad way). We had hoped for lunch but pizzas were all on offer. And what pizzas they were! Straight from fridge to pie oven. And $2 change from a fifty for two! Plates were in scarce supply it seemed so Jean was less than impressed overall and decided to take the two non fans back to the Shearer's
