Goldfields War Museum

The Goldfields War Museum houses a vast collection of war memorabilia from the citizens of the Goldfields, and is an enrching experience for anyone with an interest in Australia’s history and warfare. Children will enjoy the novelty of dressing up in camouflage to have their photograph taken. Walk through the exhibition and discover the significant involvement residents of the town had during the Boer War, World Wars I and II and the Vietnam War.

Examine photographs and documents to gain an in-depth understanding of the wars. Make your way outside to see an extraordinary collection of war vehicles and machinery including a tank, gun carrier and cannon.



In 2010 a magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck Kalgoorlie Boulder, and as a result the Goldfields War Museum suffered extensive damage from both the intitial quake and the aftershocks that followed. A small part of the exhibition has been moved to the upstairs of the Kalgoorlie Town Hall. Opening times are Monday to Friday: 9:00am - 4:00pm.
