Gold was discovered in Western Australia near Mount Charlotte by Paddy Hannan, Tom Flanagan and Daniel Shea on June 17, 1893, 392 miles east of Perth. This discovery set off a goldrush which changed the face of Western Australia forever. The town of Kalgoorlie is the home of the famous "Golden Mile", the richest square mile of gold-bearing earth in the world. Today the mining operation is known as the "Super Pit", the world's biggest open-cut gold mine, which is 3 miles long. Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) operates the pit and is Australia's biggest gold producer. |
