Museum sights in Kalgoorlie Boulder

  1. A

    Western Australian Museum – Kalgoorlie-Boulder

    The impressive Ivanhoe-mine head frame marks the entrance to this excellent social-history museum. A lift takes you to the top, where you can peer out over the city and mines. In case you forget the reason all of this exists, an underground vault displays giant nuggets and gold bars. There's also a fantastic collection of trade-union banners and relocated historic buildings, including a miner's cottage and mobile police station (attached to a train). Half-hour guided tours start at 11am.

    The Loopline railway was once the most important urban transport for Kalgoorlie and Boulder, and Boulder’s Golden Mile station (1897) once the busiest in WA. Its story is told in the Loopline railway museum, operating out of the old train station.
