Got time in your schedule? Check out these things to do in Kalgoorlie
If there’s room for a spot of Kalgoorlie sightseeing on your event itinerary, there are many things to do nearby our hotel that will give you a glimpse into our city’s colourful history and culture:
The Super Pit
This huge open-cut mine is a jaw-dropping sight to be seen from above, and is the centre of Kalgoorlie’s mining operations. Guided bus tours are also offered here, providing an up-close and educational experience for all.
Two-Up
This simple yet high-stakes game first gained widespread popularity amongst the ANZACs during World War 1. It involves two coins being thrown into the air, with players betting on two tails, two heads, or one head and one tail.
Kalgoorlie’s Two-Up School is one of the only places in WA with a permit to play this game outside of ANZAC Day, so come on down and have a crack!
Outback Discovery Tour
For a more immersive cultural experience, we recommend booking a tour with Bush Ghoodhu Wongutha Tours.
If one of your business function goals is to encourage team bonding, there are plenty of group activities involved in the Outback Discovery Tour, including animal tracking, foraging for bush foods, and exploring the local sacred sites of our Indigenous community.
