Let's Visit Kalgoorlie - A drive up Hannan's Street in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia
Kalgoorlie is about 650 km due east of Perth, Western Australia, at the end of Great Eastern Highway. From here you can head south to Norseman and Esperance, or north to Menzies and onto Leonora.
Kalgoorlie is located on the famous Golden Mile, once dubbed the riched stretch of real estate on earth.
Gold was first found here in kalgoorlie in the mid 1890's by Paddy Hannan and hist two prospecting mates, Thomas Flanagan and Daniel Shea.
Gold is still extract in vast amount from the numerous gold mines around the town.
The most spectacular is the Super Pit, which is an open-cut gold mine, that is 3.5 km long, 1.5 km wide and 600m deep. An amazingly big hole in the ground!
