Get an introduction to gold rush life at the Museum of the Goldfields. See how prospectors searched for gold, learn about the hardships they faced, and gaze in awe at the largest display of the State’s collection of gold bars and nuggets. The hub at the height of the gold rush was the historic Golden Mile, in the town of Boulder. Here, you can wander along Burt Street and admire its rich gold rush heritage. Visit the Miners Monument, Goldfields War Museum and the Town Hall, which houses the Goatcher Curtain. Or head for the Loopline Railway Station and tour the Golden Mile in the old train that once carried hundreds of miners to work. Take a scenic flight or pull on a hard hat for a mind-blowing tour of one of the world's largest open-cut mines – the Super Pit. Part of the historic Golden Mile, the modern-day pit is a colossal 3.5 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres wide, producing 900,000 ounces of gold each year. For the best sunset views of Australia’s largest outback town, head up to Mount Charlotte in the late afternoon.
