The Nullarbor Links

The Nullarbor links is an 18-hole par 72 golf course spanning 1,365 kilometres, with a green and tee hole in every participating roadhouse from Kalgoorlie to Ceduna.

Who came up with the ingenious idea to turn a vast, arid area to a golf course? Eyre Highway Operators Associations Alf Caputo and Bob Bongiorno thought up the concept over a glass of wine. The goal of the links is to enhance the tourism industry along the Highway by providing the travellers with an additional activity to occupy themselves with while theyre in the region; to encourage drivers to stop over and stay longer. It will serve as an alternative source of income for small communities in the area.

The feasibility study was completed in September 2006, and since August 2009, the course has been open for public play.

Hole-In-A-Town

Every hole in this 18-hole course is located in participating roadhouses along the Eyre. Every hole is uniquely designed, and carries within it a host of sights and experiences unique to the area that it is in!
 
I am an Australian outlaw gang, more famous outside of Australia than within.
We ruled in a now famous goldrush city in the early 1850,s.
We were hated and feared.
 
This is a tricky one, but very quickly interesting.

The gang was known for arson, and standing over businesses.

Vigilante gang was formed to counter them, as the law was to frightened to deal with them.

The area they operated in was known as Sydney town, or Sydney Cove.
 
Jt wasn't melville (not capt melville but the other one) who used to rob the miners tents by day and the stores by night, until finally the diggers got fed up and 200 of them surrounded his camp and set fire to his tents. They captured him after wounding him and escorted him to the police where i think 3 of the gang were hung.?
