National Australia Day launch
The national launch for 2006 Australia Day celebrations happened in Kalgoorlie on Monday. It was the second such occasion following a successful inaugural event last year at Ayers Rock.
It was a great honor for the city, accorded in recognition of significant local efforts towards achieving reconciliation with indigenous people. Kalgoorlie was also seen as reflecting a national character of adventure and exploration, with an historical emphasis on prospecting.
The Governor-General, Michael Jeffery, attended and I was fortunate to see him at a civic reception on Sunday evening.
There were many media celebrities and other prominent figures in town for the “Kalgoorlie Dawn” event on Monday, which featured in my first issue as editor today.

Michael, does the Kalgoorlie Miner not have a website? I searched it under Google but nothing came up.
The Miner is part of West Australian Regional Newspapers (see http://westregional.com.au/), which is a division of the ASX-listed company West Australian Newspapers, publisher of Perth’s daily, The West Australian.
There are plans to establish a news web site for the regionals.
