By the late 1890s the Kalgoorlie brothels had become a byword for degradation and the most flagrant in the English-speaking world. “”The Sun”” newspaper campaigned against the outrageous displays by the prostitutes and the vested interests of the landlordssly grog traders. The book details the campaign and shows a vastly different old Kalgoorlie to that usually depicted.
