And here I was excited about an Australian Supercar driving down into the pit!

Also, I know your truck has a shovel, get busy digging

Ha. was there just this summer. Pretty impressive piece of pollution.

I asked the lady if I would lose my leg if I dipped it into the pit. She sorta smirked and sorta said don’t do it!

pH of about 2, so you wouldn’t loose your leg but likely would get a good rash and stain your skin. Would recommend an immediate clean water rinse.

This is the Kalgoorlie Super Pit. Picture (Jordan Cantelo) dates from 2012 so the hole is quite a bit bigger these days...

This is where I work at, nearly ten miles across East to West. The tailings basin is what is on the North side.
