Good as Gold Tours

Discover the heart and soul of WA’s Goldfields on this unforgettable two-day small group tour. Travel through striking outback landscapes as you explore the ghost towns, art, and history that shaped the region.

Day One takes you from Kalgoorlie to the hauntingly beautiful Lake Ballard, where Antony Gormley’s “Inside Australia” sculptures rise from the salt flats. Then head to Menzies and on to Leonora, where you’ll explore the incredible abandoned mining town of Gwalia, once home to Herbert Hoover. Wander through restored buildings, the historic Hoover House, and the State Hotel before relaxing with sunset views and local stories.

After a comfortable night’s stay, Day Two brings quirky outback charm with a visit to Kookynie—home to the famous pub and its resident horse. Explore the ruins, hear tales of gold rush life, and soak up the raw character of this near-forgotten town.

This fully guided tour includes air-conditioned transport, overnight accommodation, homemade meals and snacks, and plenty of time to connect with the land, people, and history.
