The Golden Quest Discovery Trail is a true self-drive adventure for those ready to experience the Outback and one of the world's most famous gold-producing regions.

You will journey through a number of key contemporary and historical mining towns, legendary country pubs, the fascinating Gwalia ghost town and visit Lake Ballard with its extraordinary Antony Gormley sculptures that rise from the remote salt lake.
On the way see Leonora/Gwalia, Laverton, Kookynie, Niagara Dam, Menzies, Ora Banda, Rowles laggon, Broad Arrow and Kalgoorlie/Boulder. Also on the agenda are wild flowers, Lake Ballard and Mine Managers Dinner.
