Boulder

Boulder combines a working gold-mining identity with a preserved town centre in a way that reflects its position in Western Australia’s dry Goldfields. Now part of the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, it developed beside the Golden Mile, a major gold-bearing belt whose mines have shaped the district for more than a century. The immense Fimiston Open Pit, commonly known as the Super Pit, remains central to the local economy and mining heritage. Along Burt Street, early civic and commercial buildings, including Boulder Town Hall, recall the settlement’s gold-rush era. The surrounding country is open and dry, with eucalypts and red earth characteristic of the inland Goldfields.
