Kambalda

Forty five minutes drive southeast of Kalgoorlie, Kambalda consists of two separate towns seven kilometres apart, Kambalda East and Kambalda West. Situated at the Kambalda Visitors Centre, the Kambalda Herbarium is the largest collection of regional flora displayed in the Goldfields. Kambalda's best attraction is the Red Hill Lookout, which is situated in East Kambalda off Gordon Adams Road. The Red Hill walking trail offers an easy stroll up to the summit where your effort will be rewarded with a magnificent view right across the vast expanse of Lake Lefroy, one of the regions more spectacular shimmering white salt lakes. Land sailing takes place on Lake Lefroy. Cabins, yacht hire and tuition can be organised by prior arrangement. If you are on the road, four undercover picnic tables make it the perfect spot for a lunch break. There are picnic and camping facilities at outback nature reserves, with some striking granite outcrops, rain sculptured caves, dams and a diversity of landscapes. There are an abundance of recreational activities - golf, bush walking, rock climbing and boot scooting! Take a break and enjoy the beautiful Memorial Garden situated behind the Shire Offices. There is a memorial to the miners who have died in work related accidents at mine sites in the Kambalda area. The community of this small nickel mining town strives to preserve as much of its native flora as possible. Kambalda has a caravan park.
