Former gold town Kilometre 88

 Former gold town Kilometre 88 

The former gold town is now like any other, all the illegal miners have been moved on and the mineral rights are owned by one company, 55% owned by the government.

An ordinary street scene, with not a miner, security guard or armed escort to be seen.

An ordinary town...

...crowded

..with all the names of bars and hotels with gold in the name have gone, all te middle men eager to buy gold also gone, just this one shop that sells beer and spirits and claims to buy / sell gold coins.
