Description:
The Museum of the Goldfields showcases the rich history of the Eastern Goldfields and the unique role the town has played in WA’s development. It houses the largest display of the State’s collection of gold bars and nuggets, and allows visitors to step back in time to see how prospectors searched for this precious metal, and learn about the life and hardships faced by mining families during the early 1900s. The Museum is located on the Hannan Street, the main street of Kalgoorlie, 6.5 hours drive or 1 hours flight east of Perth.
