Discovery Holiday Parks
Boulder, Kalgoorlie-Boulder, WA

Overview

Located some 600km’s east of Perth in the Western Australia Goldfields, you can not go past the historic city of Kalgoorlie/Boulder.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder has gained a nickname of Kal by the locals and is a remarkably self sufficient city with magnificent building architecture and wealth. Kalgoorlie/Boulder is most famous for her gold production and is the major producer of gold in Australia.

Whilst in Kalgoorlie/Boulder, a trip around the fascinating and historic Golden Mile is a must. It was here in 1883 gold was first discovered. Taking an underground tour of the Hannans Tourist Mine to find out what mining is all about, is also a highlight for any visitor. But you can not go past the wonderful museums and gardens with local wildlife that Kalgoorlie/Boulder also has to offer.

After a long day exploring the wonders of the Australian outback, you will need somewhere convenient and relaxing to rest your weary legs! Conveniently located on the southern entrance to Kalgoorlie/Boulder, Discovery Holiday Parks – Boulder is the perfect place.

Boulder Pharmacy Museum

The Boulder Pharmacy commenced business as Stewart & Co in Boulder in January 1987. There is a significant number of prescription items no longer used which show how medication becomes redundant through the years. A collection of razors, surgical implements, baby bottles, scales and other hardware implements, generally sold by pharmacies and a range of old cameras and film developing kits, cosmetics and perfumes round off the display.

Arboretum

The Kalgoorlie Arboretum is located on Hawkins Street (adjacent to Hammond Park). Attractions include a wide variety of local eucalyptus, walking trails, picnic tables under the shade of river gums and a small dam that attracts water birds.

Native Plants Demonstration Garden

Established by the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Urban Landcare Group in 1995, the garden comprises local native plants that are suitable for growing in Goldfields gardens. The 65 species of plants on display are labelled and there are signs that give tips on mulching, water wise gardening and weeds.

Beautifully preserved historic hall with pressed tin ceilings and wrought iron baulstrades, opened on 23 June 1908. It is home to the famous 'Goatcher Curtain'.

The historic Golden Mile is located on the outskirts of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Since 1883, when Irishman Paddy Hannan first made his famous discovery, more than 50 million ounces of gold have been harvested from the Golden Mile.

Loopline Tourist Railway Museum

A committee of local volunteers were aware that the Loopline Railway was to be out of operation for a while and the museum was a way to keep interest in the Loopline alive. Locals have donated most the exhibits and some are on loan from the Eastern Goldfields Historical Society.

Miners Monument

The Goldfields Miners Memorial Committee has established a monument for the 1,300 miners killed in the industry throughout the region since 1893.
