Commonly, the name "Kalgoorlie" is simply used to refer to the twin-boom towns of Kalgoorlie and Boulder. Boulder developed primarily as
area for the gold mines.
Due to similarities between dialects and their kinship systems, the Western Desert people have been defined as a cultural bloc. They were hunter-gatherers who hunted, fished and collected wild fruits and vegetables. They did not raise animals for food or cultivate crops. Mobility was an important survival strategy.
Studies show that hunter-gatherers probably only worked about fifteen to twenty hours a week in order to survive, and the rest of the time was devoted to leisure (Sahlins). Criticism has found such views overly romantic, pointing out that hunter-gatherer people experienced extremely high infant mortality, frequent disease, and perennial warfare.
Western Desert people appeared to occupy discrete areas of land, and had a general fear of the sorcery of strangers. In the early days of the gold rush, Aboriginal Department Inspector Bailey recorded that "the tribal customs of Aboriginals forbid their entering the confines of other tribes, any departure from such
customs usually result in combat, often death".
The availability of water was a major issue for the Wangkatja people. In 1864, explorer Charles Hunt was just south of Kalgoorlie when he met a group of Aboriginal people who had come from dry country to the east, headed for the granite country to wait out the hot weather.
Hunt returning in the following year and in 1866, was told that Aboriginal people would often
travel westward during the summer dry periods.
European settlement made traditional methods of obtaining food difficult for the Wangkatja people, making game scarce and murrin murrin seeds less available.

1863: Explorations
Henry Lefroy led an expedition in 1863 through the region where Coolgardie is today, just over 37km from Kalgoorlie.
Between 1864 and 1866, explorer and surveyor Charles Cooke Hunt found and
mapped water sources in the area that would later become the goldfields. Later, the telegraph line to Kalgoorlie and the first stage of the transcontinental railway line would follow Hunt's track.
In March 1869, Sir John Forrest led an expedition from Perth in search of clues to the fate of Leichhardt. The party made it almost as
far as the later site of Laverton, surveying the route using the most up-to-date methods of stellar observation.
1890s: The Gold Rush
An Irish born trio, Patrick (Paddy) Hannan, Tom Flanagan, and Dan Shea, helped spark the gold rush and the development of the boom town of Kalgoorlie, when they discovered alluvial gold whilst travelling through the area in 1893.
Hannan then filed a Reward Claim on 17 June 1893, and soon, hundreds of hopeful prospectors were rushing to the place called "Hannan's Find".

The gold at Hannan's Find was soon extinguished, and many hopeful diggers left in disappointment. However, a prospector named Sam Pearce and his partner, William George Brookman, found the real gold wealth
several kilometres south of Hannan's Find.
Initially, the area was dubbed "Brookman's sheep farm", but before long, the area revealed itself as being one of the richest gold lodes ever found and the name, "Golden Mile", began to be used.
Extreme Hardship
The early miners of the Eastern Goldfields experienced extreme hardships. Not only was the heat of the area hard to bear, but the low rainfall meant there was
little available drinking water.
The bore water was brackish and polluted and extremely expensive. Many prospectors also died of thirst when they journeyed out looking for gold, as they ran out of water and none could be found.

Some Notable People
William Brookman was in partnership with Sam Pearce when he heard about Paddy Hannan's discovery of gold at what would become Kalgoorlie.
The pair walked 300 miles (483 km) from York to Kalgoorlie, arriving on 28 June 1893. However, they moved their camp some distance from Hannan's main camp and became founders of Great Boulder in 1893.
Brookman went bankrupt, but later, he became the director of over 30 mining companies and was said to be a millionaire. He adopted a lavish lifestyle, living in a mansion,
buying land, purchasing a country estate, a seaside cottage, a private yacht and a motor car, and employing liveried servants. In 1900, Brookman was elected Mayor of Perth.
Later, Brookman experienced financial difficulties and had to sell assets to meet his debts. And his wife left him.

Brookman Street, Kalgoorlie, is located parallel to Hannan Street to the north.
Richard Egan, also called "Diamond Dick", owned the Croesus Mine Lease, which he took up in 1893, covering 9 acres.
Egan creamed off the shallow gold and then sold the mine to an Adelaide Syndicate. Egan took off to the eastern states, but he was a big-spender soon lost all his money.
Egan
returned to prospecting in Western Australia and died young in 1900, aged 36. He is buried in the Kalgoorlie Cemetery.
Egan Street, which runs parallel to Hannan Street in Kalgoorlie, is named after Richard Egan.
The Grand in Kalgoorlie was the first permanent hotel on Hannan St built in 1895, by W. J. Reynolds.

Kalgoorlie/Boulder got electric street lights in 1898. Before that, street lights were fuelled by gas.
Typhoid
During the 1890s, typhoid fever in the Goldfields reached epidemic proportions. It is not surprising that this infectious disease contaminated the water in the crowded mining camp of 10,000 people and camels, with no rubbish removal or sewerage system available.
Many got sick and died, and there were no hospitals or doctors.

A Town
In 1894, the place known as "Hannan's Find" was
declared a town, and named Kalgoorlie. The name is said to be derived from the Aboriginal Wangai word "Karlkurla", meaning "place of the silky pears".
With the opening of the railway to Perth in 1896, the timber shacks of Kalgoorlie began to be replaced by splendid new buildings. There were more than 40 hotels, clubs, theatres, and even swimming pools, even though water was still in short supply.

The Water Problem
In 1895, Engineer-in-Chief Charles Yelverton O’Connor came up with an innovative solution for supplying water to the growing population on the goldfields by building a pipeline from the water reservoir near Perth to Kalgoorlie, a distance of 563 kilometres.
However, malicious criticism and harassment were directed at O'Connor, and he took his own life.
"Not only had they obtained the victory over the opponents of the scheme, but they had won a greater fight and a greater battle – they had conquered the great forces of Nature".
The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme was a great engineering feat, with the Helena River dammed and the water piped over 550 kilometres (340 mi) to Kalgoorlie.
In 1896, the railway arrived and connected Kalgoorlie and Boulder to Perth.

Claude Albo de Bernales (1876-1963) migrated to the Western Australian goldfields in 1897 from England.
In 1909, he became managing director of the Kalgoorlie Foundry, a major supplier of mining plant. From 1911-13, he was a member of the Kalgoorlie Chamber of Mines and became a mining promoter. His methods and dealings were in many ways questionable, but his mining activities helped keep the State afloat.
