Kalgoorlie to Eucla road trip: Distance, driving time & best stops

Kalgoorlie to Eucla road trip: Kalgoorlie to Norseman

The first leg of the epic journey from Kalgoorlie to Eucla is from Kalgoorlie to Norseman.

In Boulder, the Old Boulder Cemetery commemorates those who died in the Western Australian gold rush. But most travellers will opt to keep going until another tiny mining town, Kambalda.

The best thing to do in Kambalda is take in the views from the Red Hill Lookout. From here, you can see the vast salt flats of Lake Lefroy.

The road keeps going via a few forgettable nature reserves and salt pans, before crossing Lake Cowan and entering Norseman.

Things to do in Norseman include admiring the views from the Beacon Hill and Lake Cowan lookouts, and having a bizarre picnic amongst Phoenix Park’s old mining equipment.

Norseman accommodation possibilities include the motel-like Great Western Travel Village and the affordable Acclaim Gateway Tourist Park.
