Experience the Outback in this historic town that is full of character, with well preserved turn-of-the-century buildings and a rich gold mining heritage. Yalgoo was founded in the 1890s with the discovery of alluvial gold, and there are plenty of reminders of the town's wild gold rush days, including the railway station, cemetery, Monsignor Hawes - the convent chapel, Jokers Tunnel and the Court House Museum.
