The funny thing is, we picked the colour scheme long before any of us moved to Kalgoorlie. We were pretty much just thinking of all the desert that separates us from the rest of the country. I can't actually remember who designed our current theme. Originally I did one with a similar colour scheme that was up for far too long (I whipped it up very quickly and meant to do a better one later), but at least we had the distinction of being the first aussie forum (and second out of all the forums) to get a custom theme up.

I think it would need a bit more red in the colour to make it more goldfields oriented.

The fjords. You know. The car. Like the Hölden. Or the Mitsubishé.

Ive lived in rural WA a few years.
In my opinion down south during the winter is nice, Pemberton and places like that. Haven't been up north but some people I know love
it up there, Broome places like that.
Bed and breakfast places have sprung up, or staying at hotel and seeing whatever sites are there in the region.

Some of the best beaches, fishing spots and camping spots in the country are in WA away from the city if you're in to any of that. In kalgoorlie where I am, most people move here for one reason - $. Lots of money working in the mining industry here without the need for all those pesky qualifications that are needed in other jobs. Teachers here are still poor though.

That's because your union sucks.
The Albany experience is nice, but a little cold. I've become a big fan of the whole "down south" thing. I'd be living in Margaret River if my wife didn't have a violent objection to living in the country ... seriously, wineries, surf, bush, good restaurants, good beaches ... one of Australia's better-kept secrets.

Albany is where I was born and grew up. It's a pretty place, a quiet sort of coastal town which for many years had to put up with its image as a 'retirement town'. You won't find a teeming nightlife there, but if you're into natural wonders like bushwalking, fishing, coastal drives, and that sort of thing, it'll be right up your alley.
It is reasonably cold, particularly in winter -- though you won't see snow fall, it's prone to wild and woolly storms especially through autumn and winter. Generally you'll be lucky to see 30 degrees celsius on the thermometer, and usually it's more around the high teens-mid twenties in terms of temperature. Sunbaking is pretty much out
Best way to enjoy Albany is to get out and see the natural sights. Don't expect fantastic tourist attractions (other than whale watching, maybe) but just relax in a coastal town that hasn't been taken over by the chardonnay set. It's quiet, sleepy even, but I still have a very soft spot for it.
EDIT: If you're in Manjimup (and if I remember right) you're actually within striking distance of Margaret River, Augusta, and Dunsborough. I would really recommend checking those places out first. Manjimup I don't know as much about, but I thought it was in the Pemberton area as well, in which case natural beauty is again your friend.
