18.01.2022 Great news! A new archaeological study has begun at Jurien Bay, creating a new potential attraction for tourists. The project, being run by Heritage Detection Australia, hopes to uncover some amazing insights into the structures and the people who lived and worked there during World War Two. This may then also open the door to new tourism opportunities for the region. Check out the blog for the full story! :)... http://economictransitions.com.au/blog/

We've worked with the Shire of Leonora, the Department of Mines and petroleum and Easy Mobile Apps to create this unique new experience for the Goldfields. Download the app now and read all about it over on the blog. http://www.economictransitions.com.au/blog/

17.01.2022 We would like to say a huge congratulations to Sir Leslie Thiess CBE, Professor Alban Lynch AO and Mr James May on being named the 2016 inductees to the Australian Prospectors & Miners' Hall of Fame! This special event will take place on 9 November 2016 in Melbourne. http://www.mininghalloffame.com.au//Australian%20Prospecto

17.01.2022 What better way to end the day than a peaceful stand up paddle board session with Jurien Bay Adventure Tours!

13.01.2022 Great to see that Norseman is trying to diversify their economic benefit by transitioning from mining to tourism before mining has ceased in the town. The Woodlands Cultural, Community and Visitors Centre would be a wonderful attraction for visitors to the Goldfields. Well done Shire of Dundas! https://thewest.com.au//focus-on-tourist-centre-plans-ng-b

13.01.2022 Awesome event for Rockingham, the Beach Cup!

11.01.2022 Fancy celebrating a solid gold milestone? Gwalia, the amazing historical landmark in Leonora has just undergone $3 million of upgrades, and theyre inviting people to a special Gwalias Gold event to celebrate on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 November. The Gwalia's Gold Launch Weekend will feature a Gatsby-esque cocktail party, walking tours with the characters of Gwalia, a multimedia exhibition and a community bake-off! In addition, the Gwalia State Hotel will be opening its ...doors for the first time in 50 years. If youre located in Perth, Skippers charter flights departing at 9am on Saturday and leave Leonora at 6pm on Sunday. For more information, or to book, contact the Shire of Leonora directly on [email protected] or www.leonora.wa.gov.au

11.01.2022 Did you catch this great piece on GWN7 News last week about the archaeological work taking place in Jurien Bay? It's fascinating and sure to open up lots of potential tourism opportunities for the region! Well done to Bob and the Heritage Detection Australia team :) https://www.gwn7.com.au/news/2203-digging-up-history

11.01.2022 JUST OVER ONE WEEK TO GO! The Shire of Leonora will be opening the doors to Gwalia’s State Hotel to the public for the first time in 54 years on the 17th and 18th of November 2018, as part of the Gwalia’s Gold weekend. Did you know the hotel, built in 1903, was the first of the State Hotels to be constructed in Western Australia?... It follows the State Government taking the unusual step of building the State Hotel to provide Gwalia with a licensed premises and to lessen the sly-grog trade. The hotel was opened to the public on 3 June 1903, the cost of construction, including furnishings, amounting to 5,429. In March 1919, the State Hotel was subject to a 'beer strike' when a group of miners agreed to boycott the hotel until their demands for improved conditions were met. In June 1959, Gwalia residents signed a petition against the State's proposed sale of the State Hotel. In the early 1960s, the Government's interest in hotels waned and a number of communities looked to take over the hotels themselves. In Gwalia, after protracted negotiations, the Gwalia community Co. Ltd bought/leased the hotel in 1960 for 18,000. The State Hotel continued to be used as a hotel up until the mid-1960s. After the mine's closure in 1963, Gwalia was nearly deserted, although a number of its building remained. The State Hotel was closed on 17 January 1964, in a town that by then had only 40 residents. There’s plenty more that has happened with the State Hotel since then and hopefully many more exciting developments in the future. Get down to the Gwalia’s Gold weekend to find out more and to see this iconic part of WA’s history for yourself. Return flights from Perth are only $280 for the weekend! Secure your seat by emailing [email protected] and come visit this amazing part of Australia's Golden Outback.
