Did you know that at the end of the 19th century Kanowna was a bustling community and district of 12,500 people with all the services of a modern town – shops, post office, a hospital, 16 hotels, two breweries and an hourly train service to Kalgoorlie?

In the early 20th century underground production declined and with-it Kanowna’s population. The railway station closed in the 1930s, the school shut in the 1940s, the last hotel closed in 1952 and by 1953 the town had been abandoned. Little remains to mark the passing of this once thriving and important centre.

Join us for this exclusive event as the Eastern Goldfields Historical Society unveils its plan for the Kanowna Heritage Trail – a new Tourism Attraction for Kalgoorlie Boulder.
