We enjoyed this museum very much as it contained the entries in the Nature photographer of the year. These were amazing. It also contains a lot of the history of gold mining in the area. You are able to take a lift to a viewing platform, which looks across the Superpit and town. It also has a vault you can enter where millions of dollars worth of gold is housed. The original British Arms Hotel is also on site and has some rooms decked out in keeping with that era. An optional donation is requested

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.

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!
