The drive east from Perth is around six and a half hours, non-stop, and joins the path of the original water pipeline that brought the most precious resource from Mundaring Weir to Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields at the turn of the century. Known as the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail, there are many historic points of interest, interpretive panels and walking trails along the way. Take your time to take it all in and plan an overnight stop at a country town or farm stay, or head straight for the start of the Golden Quest Discovery Trail, Coolgardie. Just 30-minutes west of Kalgoorlie, Coolgardie is the birthplace of the 1892 gold rush, with a rich pioneering heritage proudly presented in its architecture and museums. Stay the night in Coolgardie, or complete your journey east to Kalgoorlie.
