Coolgardie
Coolgardie
Coolgardie is an old gold mining town set within the Western Australia Goldfields. The towns population grew to a staggering 15,000 during the gold rush which started in 1892, although decreased rapidly as the gold ran out. However, there are some wonderful historical buildings around the town, which are worth visiting. Inside the tourist information building is a good Goldfields Exhibition, telling you about the history of the Goldfields. You can also learn about the history at the interesting Railway Station Museum.
