Shires on your journey: Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie, Menzies, Laverton, Leonora Travel from Kalgoorlie-Boulder on an amazing loop trail from Coolgardie to Laverton through incredible goldfields towns rich in heritage, history and charm. This is a true outback adventure which unearths the riches of the Goldfields’ 120-year old gold rush and showcases what is still one of the world’s biggest gold producing regions. The 96km trail leads you from the buzz of one of the largest open cut gold mines on earth, the Super Pit, to the striking beauty of artist Antony Gormley’s 51 steel statues on Lake Ballard. There are a number of beautiful nature reserves and campsites, including the man-made lake Niagara Dam. Tour the town of Kookynie, (the pub is well worth the stop) as well as old camps in the town of Gwalia, near Leonora, where the 31st United States President, Herbert Hoover, lived and worked. The linked Green Trail highlights sites in the Kambalda and Coolgardie areas with outstanding environmental, historical or cultural values such as beautiful woodlands and natural salt lakes.
