I was on my way back to Perth from Cue and made a quick stop in Paynes Find Gold Battery. The museum was small but informative with a video explaining the whole gold production process. In the video we also founded out that this gold battery were the last gold battery in Australia that was ran by a woman which is unique. Even Malcolm Douglas made a visit to this unique location. If people is stopping at Paynes Find for a quick refreshment I suggest you drive up 500m to this unique Battery and support it to preserve this bit of history.

Visited the Boulder Town Hall to visit the War Museum and was blown away by the history and content of the museum. The staff there were very helpful and assisted us in tracking down our family that was featured in the museum, they even gave us copies of all the information that had on hand. Well worth a visit if you are visiting Kalgoorlie/Boulder.

The Church of St John the Evangelist began construction in 1841, making it the oldest church in WA. It is built of shingles and locally quarried stone, which is extremely strong. It is framed by peppermint trees, which are native to the area. The church, hall, rectory and peppermint trees were placed on the register of the National Trust in 1978. St John's is an Anglican Church.
