FROM A GOLD-RUSH TOWN TO A MODERN BUSTLING CITY
Less than 600 km from Perth you find Kalgoorlie, a city in the Goldfields–Esperance region. It’s a good choice for retirees looking forward to living in a place with a rich history, beautiful heritage buildings and a lively community.
Kalgoorlie is one of the main mining areas in the world and home to Australia’s largest open pit gold mine, the impressive Super Pit. The city has plenty of shops, grand hotels and pubs. There are also two popular markets, the huge Boulder Markets and the Kalgoorlie Markets, where visitors can buy local fresh produce.
If you enjoy horse races, Kalgoorlie has you covered during your retirement years. Every September they celebrate The Round, enjoying a whole week of important races at the popular Kalgoorlie Boulder Racing Club.
The area offers all the modern facilities and health services you may need during your retirement. It’s home to one of the largest regional hospitals in WA, the Kalgoorlie Health Campus. Here you can find acute medical and specialist services, as well as surgical, diabetes and neurology services, amongst many others.
