In June 1893, three Irish prospectors, led by Paddy Hannan, found the richest goldfield in the history of Australia. Shortly after, D L Doolette was granted a lease at Hannans North, making this mine a connection to the earliest days of goldmining in Kalgoorlie. The original shaft was worked until 1991, when it became the tourist mine you see today. Besides the historic mine, visitors will see modern mining equipment, such as the giant Haulpak trucks. There's a BBQ area and a picnic spot. By the way, you can also join in a game of Two Up, the legendary game of the Kalgoorlie goldminers.

We really lucked in the day we visited the Visitor Centre as we were there at the right time to get on a tour of the Town Hall , which is were the Centre is located. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very easy to hear and understand, which is not something you always get on tours, making this tour really enjoyable.

I did the 2.5 tour with Goldrush Tours. Booking was easy with great communication. The tour itself was very interesting and informative - it's a great insight into the operations of an open cut mine up close.

Visited the Boulder Town Hall to visit the War Museum and was blown away by the history and content of the museum. The staff there were very helpful and assisted us in tracking down our family that was featured in the museum, they even gave us copies of all the information that had on hand. Well worth a visit if you are visiting Kalgoorlie/Boulder.

Broad Arrow is a ghost town that clings to life. The Broad Arrow Tavern, the only remaining pub in town, dates from 1896. The town once had a population of 2,400, now only the pub remains. Those who remember the Nickel Boom of the early 1970s may recall the Nickel Queen, a low-budget film starring Australian diva Googie Withers and Sydney radio personality John Laws, in which the pub featured. The pub serves hot Broady Burgers and cold beer. Broad Arrow is 38 km (24 miles) north of Kalgoorlie and 633 km (394 miles) east of the State capital, Perth. By the way, a broad arrow was stamped on the backs of convicts and other government property. It's hard to go past the Broad Arrow. pub without stopping in for a beer.

Make sure you book this tour as it was full the day we went! Madame Carmel is a born story teller, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. Her knowledge and recollections of her time in Kalgoorlie are both priceless and very entertaining. The tour is very good value for money and definitely a unique experience!
