The WA School of Mines (WASM) recently welcomed back a group of 1975 graduates to mark 50 years of friendship and shared memories. Alumni Brad Bevis, David Rich, Rod Christmass, Ian Suckling, Ian Lumsdaine, David Merkley, Ken Egglestone and Gavan Showers returned to the Kalgoorlie campus for a special tour.

The visit brought back plenty of stories, from Sunday roasts at Agricola to Rocket Launching Day at Red Lake in the 70s.

A big thank you to Curtin Kalgoorlie Director Tanya Chambers and Agricola Accommodation Manager Fiona Hawkey for organising such a memorable homecoming.
