Menzies to Kookynie, Leonora and Gwalia

Perth, Western Australia

Continue north on an unsealed road, stopping at Niagara Dam before arriving in the living ghost town of Kookynie. Explore the ruins of its industrious past and enjoy some Goldfields hospitality at its outback pub. Make your next stop Leonora to admire its lovingly restored main street, complete with old wooden shacks and grand hotels. Then take the unsealed road to the historic gold rush precinct of Gwalia. Once home to the former American President, Herbert Hoover, who managed the local mine, Gwalia invites you to explore historic Hoover House and the Gwalia Historical Museum. You can even stay overnight at Hoover House, or return to Leonora where you have a choice of hotels, motels, backpackers and caravan parks.
