This working life - KB Sat 27 Oct 2012 – Sun 13 Jan 2013 10:00am – 4:30pm Museum of the Goldfields This Working Life: the engines that put the Go! into the Goldfields. It’s easy to forget what life must have been like before engines came into our lives. When you think of all the industries the Goldfields is famous for, it’s especially hard to imagine how people got by without them. Working in the mines was backbreaking, cutting timber was gruelling and every sheep had to be sheared by hand. After long days of physical work, people came home to houses without electricity, refrigeration or any of the comforts that we now take for granted. This Working Life: the engines that put the go! into the Goldfields provides a great insight into how life in the region was transformed by the introduction of electric engines. By illustrating past industrial, pastoral and domestic activities, visitors will get a great sense of what life was like ‘in the old days.’ The exhibition features a loan collection of engines and a vehicle from VT Engineering, Kalgoorlie.
