The Goldfields 

Be lured to the Goldfields, where gold fever still hangs in the air from bygone days. Beautiful all year round, there is a wealth of exciting attractions in this picturesque and historic area. Walk along Kalgoorlie's majestic wide streets and soak in the character of the town, passing legendary grand old buildings.

Explore another world by going on a fascinating tour of an old underground gold mine, board a train for a journey around Australia's richest reef of gold, the Golden Mile and wander through museums displaying collections from the gold rush era.

The town of Norseman is 725km east of Perth and is an important stopping point for travellers between Western Australia and the eastern states as it marks the beginning of the Eyre Highway and the last major town before the South Australian border. More than 5 million ounces of gold have been extracted from the surrounding area since 1893 and much evidence of its pioneering history remains.
