Mary meets Paddy Hannon

This statue of Paddy Hannon is a replica of the original which was classified by the NationL Trust and relocated to the miners museum.
I have no doubt Mary was as cold as Paddy on this occasion.
Now old Paddy was an Irishman who has been credited with finding gold in the area from which started the largest and the last gold rush in Australia.
Kalgoorlie soon grew to be one of the largest and richest cities in Australia around the turn of the century.
