Langtrees 181 Kalgoorlie - Memories

“Looking back at the memories of the dance we shared under stars above…” so goes the Garth Brookes song which reminds me of the times that I personally visited the premises of the Langtrees Brothel in Kalgoorlie’s famous Hay Street red light district many moons ago to dance or whatever.

Please allow me to head over to Meta AI to remind us all of Mrs Langtree's connection to that iconic property in the Goldfields town of Kalgoorlie in WA.

“Langtrees Kalgoorlie was a historic brothel on Hay Street that operated from 1905 until its closure in 2012. It was owned by madam Mary-Anne Kenworthy from 1988, who renovated it into a themed bordello and museum that opened in 2000 before she sold the property in 2022 after putting it up for sale in 2019. The building now houses a mining companies offices & staff accommodation.

Early history and establishment

• The site was originally two separate 3-4 room brothels, joined together around 1958
• The "red light district" on Hay Street was formally established in 1902 when West Brookman Street was re-gazetted.
• The brothel operated until 2012.

Ownership and renovation by Mary-Anne Kenworthy

• Mary-Anne Kenworthy a prominent figure in the sex industry, purchased the brothel in 1988.
• She spent $2.3 million renovating the property, which included demolishing the old "starting stalls".
• In 2000, the renovated building reopened as a themed bordello and museum.

Closure and subsequent sale

• The brothel closed as a working bordello in 2012.
• From 2018 to 2019, the property operated as a Tapas restaurant and boutique accommodation.
• Ms Kenworthy sold the property in 2019 for over $1 million.
• The building was then converted into a mining office and mining accommodation at the back.

Legacy

• Langtrees 181 Kalgoorlie was part of the historic red-light district on Hay Street.181 was the street number and the metric measurement for 69 inches.
• Its closure marked a significant change for the area, with the city now having only 1 Hay Street brothel. Why was it closed? After fly in fly out mining came in around 1999 the turnover reduced significantly and Mary-Anne was not able to attract the quality of ladies that she was known for. At the same time this happened the Asian massage shops opened up thru out the town of Kalgoorlie, most of them in residential areas and Langtrees 181 just couldn’t compete
• Questa Casa still exists today as a tour museum. They no longer work with any ladies.

I’m not even certain of the years that I visited the famous establishment, but it was at least three decades past I believe because you see I used to travel to the historical town often investigating mine site accidents.

The first time my mate and I had completed a week of work and hit the mighty Sylvesters Nightclub after the pubs had closed for just a few more unnecessary beers. There in the dim lights we spotted a group of about five lovely ladies who seemed out of place in the rough old town. Soon we were buying them beers, chatting and cutting a rug. In the early hours last drinks were called and our lovely recently met BFF’s invited us “back to our place” for a coffee. A short drive down Hay Street and “stop here” was the command as we pulled up outside Langtrees. And that’s what we did. We had a cup of coffee with the very pleasant working ladies, said our goodbyes in the late early hours and stumbled off to our nearby motel.

Several years later after enjoying happy hour at the famous Foundry pub with some of more adventurous insurance clients one of the rascals convinced me to attend Langtrees with him for the open day/night. We enjoyed a spa, just him and me whilst the usual activity of a working brothel went on around us including a worker and client sharing our spa with us. It was a laugh and soon we left tired from the warm waters and better for the experience.

Then there was Scotty. I reckon I was in my 30’s. After the usual overindulgence of the icy local ales in the Kalgoorlie pubs served by the lovely and infamous near nude skimpy barmaids the urge hit to seek female companionship and all paths led to Langtrees. There I met the famous Madam Leigh Beswick Varis and was introduced to a beautiful blonde, may I say “older” woman who told me her name was Scotty. Thereafter I experienced a memorable hour of her time paid for with my money. Scotty talked, she hugged and surprisingly to me she kissed. I was blown away at the pleasure of it all and slept well for what was left of the night thinking kindly about her on the 600-kilometre journey back to Perth.

Later that week I happened to read one of those monthly mags that existed in those pre internet times and there she was. “Australia’s oldest working girl” was the headline. 52 years old was the quote. That surprised me as she had about 20 years on me. Scotty was not a classic MILF as such. She was just a lovely older woman, and I was the better for having met her.

So, there you have it. Those are my personal memories of Langtrees Kalgoorlie, well worth remembering. Do you have any to share?
