Historically Kalgoorlie is one of Australia’s most famous and notorious towns. It is a mining town and many Indonesians who live there work in the mining industry. But not everyone.


Mimi Hyland runs the IndoRasa café/restaurant in Kalgoorlie.  Mimi tells Sri Dean about  her own story and describes the activities of Kalgoorlie’s Indonesian community.
