Here's something random, a bottle of Ribena. $6 here in Australia, but currently anywhere between 75 and 100 pounds sterling on eBay in the UK. Why? This is the pre sugar tax bottle which has been banned in the UK since April 2018 but readily available here. Gold dust which has to be sneaked into a suitcase anytime me or a family member visits the mother country.

So should one be visiting Coles, stocking-up and then listing them on eBay UK?

Anybody paying £75-£100 for a bottle of Ribena needs to have their head examined, ridiculous.

Niagara Dam – Goldfields – Western Australia – GQDT 003 by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

The Niagara Dam sans water in July 2019. The dam was built in 1897 to provide water for the then booming mining town of Kookynie (1,500 people) and the mining area at Niagara.

To get the cement to build the dam, 400 camels where used to cart if from Coolgardie, some 250 kilometres away.

As it turns out, the Niagara Dam, which is 228 metres long, 18 metres high and seven metres thick and a holding capacity of 141,000 cubic metres was never used as intended. Before its completion a good quality underground water supply was found in Kookynie itself.

We visited as part of our July 2019 father/son drive of the 1,000 km Golden Quest Discovery Trail in the goldfields of Western Australia.
