Which of these would be first on your list? 👇
From gold rush history to salt lake landscapes, there’s plenty to discover beyond the city. Make The View On Hannans your base and add these favourites to your itinerary:
🌿 Coolgardie
Just 40km from Kalgoorlie, this historic town offers a fascinating glimpse into the Goldfields’ past. Stroll along Bayley Street to admire the heritage buildings, explore the Goldfields Exhibition Museum and visit Ben Prior’s outdoor museum. Add a stop at Coolgardie Bluff to take in its striking red rock formations and capture a few photos.
📸 Menzies & Lake Ballard
Make a full day of it with a stop in the historic town of Menzies before continuing to Lake Ballard. Here, Antony Gormley’s 51 sculptures stretch across the vast salt lake, creating an extraordinary outdoor art experience. Allow plenty of time to explore on foot and take in the scenery. Don’t forget your camera!
🥾 Kambalda & Lake Lefroy
Head to Red Hill Lookout for sweeping views across the shimmering salt flats of Lake Lefroy. Enjoy the surrounding bushland along the walking trail, then pause for a picnic with a view.
For maps, local advice and help planning your day, pop into Kalgoorlie-Boulder Visitor Centre. Or visit Australia's Golden Outback for more inspiration to explore the region.
After a day of exploring, head back to The View On Hannans to relax and recharge.
