181's Brothel Kalgoorlie. 1994 The Week We Were Closed Down (Damn Undercover's😂 )

[Tania Admin]

I was working at 181's in Kalgoorlie when this happened. Poor Melissa was absolutely horrified when the under cover (who actually got naked for the massage in the beginning) busted her for the escort.

Police 'closed' brothel for a week

Technically illegal, the Kalgoorlie sex trade was restricted to Hay Street until 2000 when the so-called containment policy — an unofficial law enforced by the government and police — was lifted.

Ms Kenworthy said the relationship between police and the brothels was strained at times.

"I got closed down for a week by the police for doing an escort once, and I thought 'bugger them I'm not closing my doors'," she said.

"I decided to renovate, and I had all the lights on and all the doors open … I got all the tradesmen in and we redecorated the place.

"The police were going up and down the street every half an hour checking on us.

"Every bloke that came near the place I dragged them in and gave them a beer, and a little talk that we couldn't open for another week.

"Press came knocking saying 'we've heard you've been closed down' and I said, 'no I'm renovating' … you can't have guests while you've got plumbing and carpet everywhere.

"After that, I put the prices up and got all my money back in three weeks."

Yes I know. I would have been there every night. For years. It was the most amazing place in the world to me. You could have a beer and chat with every girl there until you were ready. Not now. Very stirle and extremely expensive. I have only been to Perth. Langtrees 2 times and both times I had to forfeit my right arm. But Kalgoorlie days are still very fresh in my memory. What a wonderful place it was.
Haha. It's a funny old world.

I think if you take into consideration inflation, prices now are lower. Though other costs of living have risen considerably and thus affects people's spending ability.
