Kambalda is a small mining town, in a semi-arid environment, approximately 75 kilometres southeast of Coolgardie and 616 kilometres east of Perth. Kambalda was also known to be within the tribal land of the indigenous Galaagu people. Kambalda's determination to keep as much native flora as possible separates them from other similar mining towns. Kambalda West is approximately 4 km from Kambalda East and is the location of the tourist bureau and the shire offices.
The town is well serviced with a supermarket, bank branch, post office, newsagency, public library, hotel, recreation centre, two petrol stations and two schools. Flights to and from Kambalda via Perth are operated by Cobham.
