This book relates the history of the most productive goldfield in Western Australia, written to commemorate Kalgoorlie's centenary in June 1993. Kalgoorlie is rare - a mining field worked continuously for 100 years, although it came perilously close to extinction. In trouble in 1929, it was saved by the Great Depression, which made it the most prosperous town in a depressed country.
