    The museum is the place to learn about the history of Kalgoorlie and to admire a lot of gold in their underground vault. Of course you also can marvel at artefacts from the days of the goldrush and learn that Kalgoorlie is also an important producer of Sandalwood!
    A huge headframe stands in front of the museum, you can go up there and enjoy excellent views over the town.
    The museum is open from 10am to 4.30pm and admission is by donation

    This is the place to visit if you want to learn more about mining.
    You can tour an old underground goldmine and try to wash your own gold. I wouldn't have been too successful in this, soon lost my patience in the sun with all the flies around.
    There museum has a large collection of different minerals and a gallery to the most prominent prospectors.

    The Mining Hall of fame is open from 9am to 4.30pm daily and admission is 24 AU$ for the full tour.

    To see how gold is mined these days, go to the Super Pit lookout. The Fimiston Mine is the largest open cut mine in Australia and it's still growing. When finished it will be 3,8km long, 1,35km wide and 500m deep and is suppossed to produce 300 tonnes of gold until its lifespan is thought to run out in 2018.
    It's really impressing watching those giant trucks appearing like toys.
    The lookout is open from 7am-9pm. Contact the tourist centre in Kalgoorlie for info about the blast times.

    It is 320 metres deep, about 3km long and 1.4km wide which operates 24 hours a day.
    You can see the giant mining trucks with tyres taller than the average person.

    brothel in Kal

    If it wasnt for the whole brothel thing...i would want to work here!!! its the COOLEST place!!!

    Well theres no pimps but theres definately prostitutes in Kalgoorlie. Prostitution has been occurring in Kalgoolrie since the early gold digging days in the 1800s. There are 3 working Brothels left in Kalgoorlie. Stellas Red House, Casa del Quesa and Langtrees all are located along Hat st. The brothels also offer tours during the day for all those interested in seeing what really hapopens in a brothel i highly reccommend it. Not only do you get to see the inside of the "forbidden" zones but you also get a detailed history of prostitiution in Kalgoorlie. I did the Langtrees tour, its $39AUD for 2 hours. you go through all the different rooms...each room has a different theme..its possibly one of the collest places ive been to...if it wasnt for the whole "brothel" thing i would wwant to work there its that cool!!

    if you walk along Hay st around 10pm @ night you can catch glimpses of the girls standing in the doorways! There are only 3 brothels remaining, Langtrees, Stellas Red House and Questa Casa

    And for a funny story.....i got mistaken one night as a prostitute as i was walkign past with my Thai take away. I thought it was quite hysterical as i was wearing a grotty t-shirt and pants...how i got mistaken ill never know!! ( i was EXTREMELY drunk as well....maybe i looked a bit too seedy!!)

    This is the Red Light area of Kalgoorle still in operation (1996)
    I believe it was the only legal brothel in Australia and due to being cut away from the rest of Australia was legal to give the hard working miners relief without creating sex crimes in the area.

    The main street of Kalgoorlie, named after Paddy Hannan, the Irishman who discovered the Golden Mile, is framed by carefully restored heritage buildings from the gold rush times. The architecture can be described as a mix of Wild West and Victorian historism. The wide street once provided enough room for the camel caravans that were used for transport.
