About this tour
Roll through Kalgoorlie-Boulder in an open-air heritage tram, exploring the town's gold-rush roots across two and a half hours. Your guide unpacks stories of the 1893 strike and the characters who built this Outback mining hub, stopping at the colossal Superpit, grand Victorian buildings along Hannan and Burt Streets, and the Museum of the Goldfields to see Western Australia's heaviest nugget. Designed for those wanting genuine local insight rather than rushed sightseeing.

What to expect
You'll board an authentic restored tram for a leisurely circuit of the main streets. The guide weaves together the 1893 goldrush narrative with anecdotes about the people who stayed and shaped the region. Stops include close-up views of the Superpit's vast pit face, heritage-listed buildings that still function as shops and pubs, and a museum visit where you'll handle or observe the hefty gold nugget locked in 'The Vault'. The pace is easy—expect photo opportunities and time to absorb each location rather than speed through.
