Running a banker

Tweet

We travelled to Kalgoorlie recently in the West Australian goldfields. When we went for a walk the afternoon we arrived, we remarked on the wide street gutters which were about a metre wide. We found out next morning why the gutters were so wide. It began to rain and within a short time the gutters were running a banker, as they say. Not long after it started to rain, the power went out so we couldn’t go to many of the places where our tour guide had planned to take us. We even had to buy an umbrella so we could get back to the hotel without getting drenched. Kalgoorlie is renowned for being a very dry place but it wasn’t the day we were there. Vince took this photo but I have his permission to use it.
