Many thanks to Tim for the interesting and informative tour of the Town Hall. We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful building. Tim is very knowledgeable and passionate.

has beautiful animals; this garden area is lovely and invites you to linger. The green lawns are a real treat, the walkways are stunning, and some cute birds are in the aviaries with Joe the talking cockie. A secluded area around the park is home to emus, while peacocks reside in the gardens. There’s a cafe and barbecue facilities, so it’s an excellent place for a picnic. It’s a nice place to escape the heat and relax in Kalgoorlie.

The photographs, artifacts, and documents show how the people of the Goldfields responded to the war. The story of the people of the Goldfields during the armed conflict is genuinely fascinating and worth a visit.

is a forest the size of England. Walk briefly through the vast landscape to the lookout and back. Among the other bushland, there are some lovely salmon streams. The views and the breeze on the top platform are well worth the walk. The forest area is enormous, and you get a sense of its vastness from there.

and viewpoint, with a fascinating history of the Golden Pipeline, which terminates here after approximately 600 km.

is beautiful. I have seen many churches and cathedrals in Europe, but this church has a special charm. I lit candles on All Saints Day, and it was a magical atmosphere. It’s worth taking time to reflect, and I’m happy we visited this beautiful church

is the most critical and central hub of the 19th-century Goldfields cultural and arts scene.

is an interesting ghost town and a fascinating historical place. Where once a thriving community stood, not a single building remains. But the streets are laid out, and the train platform can still be seen. There are nameplates in many places where a building or shop once stood. The cemetery is also of historical importance. It is well worth a visit.

located in part of Centennial Park, commemorates the participants of the Kokoda Track Campaign in World War II. Plaques and information boards provide an overview of the campaign’s history and location. A poignant poem entitled “The Crossing of the Stanley Range” is also on display, along with a list of the brigades and battalions involved in the campaign.

This well-presented memorial contributes to a better understanding of the Kokoda Trail, which is still often held up as an example of Australian comradeship and bravery in the face of the imminent threat of foreign attack on Australian soil. It is well worth visiting the memorial and reading the information that has been collected.

An impressive war memorial commemorating the Aboriginal people. The monument is located at the front of the Kalgoorlie train station car park. At the top is a sculpture of a World War I soldier in the “on guard” position. He stands almost like a sentinel watching over the town. At the base of the monument are four wings, each with a carved lion guarding its corner. On separate plaques are the names of famous places associated with the First World War, including Palestine, Gallipoli, Belgium, and France, as well as other areas related to the war. It was inaugurated in 1923 and is surrounded by two wrought iron fences. This monument commemorates the wars of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945. Other war memorials in Kalgoorlie-Boulder celebrate those who died in these wars. This early 20th-century war memorial is well worth a visit to see the beautiful carvings and statues.

Sassy Sue’s, I didn’t expect to find this in Kalgoorlie. Sassy Sue’s was recommended by word of mouth, and I’m so glad I did. It’s an incredible store filled with vintage clothing that instantly transports you back in time. Whether it’s a sparkly green sequined men’s vest, a red velvet evening gown, or any other piece of clothing from yesteryear, it’s all here, along with vintage jewellery, shoes, coats – and it’s all displayed in a way that makes it easy to find. I browsed for a long time, and the owner told me that she often has tourists come in to reminisce about the past. It’s a store that invites you to browse and feel transported back in time; if you enjoy dressing up, this is the place for you! I never expected to find a shop like this in Kalgoorlie.
