Fossicking in Western Australia: Where to Go, When and How to Plan It

When is the best time to fossick in Western Australia?

Best monthsApril to September

Fossick Western Australia in winter. From April to September the Goldfields and Murchison are cool and dry enough to work a full day, and the Pilbara and Kimberley are out of the wet season. October to March brings serious heat and, in the north, road-closing rain.

Summer heat is a real hazard, not a discomfort: Tourism Western Australia records that Marble Bar breached the 100 degree Fahrenheit mark (37.8C) on 160 consecutive days across the summer of 1923 and 1924, and that the town has hit 49.2C. The Goldfields and Murchison are not far behind in a bad summer. Working a detector in that heat, hours from help, is how people get into trouble.

Northern wet season closes the top of the state: In the Kimberley the wet runs roughly November to March. The Shire of Halls Creek alone has about 1,433km of unsealed road against 360km sealed, and those roads become impassable or officially restricted. Plan Pilbara and Kimberley trips for the dry.

Ground and tracks after rain: Shires restrict and close unsealed roads after rain to stop them being cut up and to keep travellers safe. Driving a closed road can mean a fine, liability for damage and a very long wait if you break down. Check the Main Roads WA Travel Map and the relevant shire's road condition report on the morning you travel, not the week before.

Cold starts inland: Goldfields and Murchison winter mornings are genuinely cold before the day warms up. Pack for frosty starts even though the middle of the day is pleasant.

Winter is peak season for beds and fuel: June to August is when the Goldfields fill with travellers. Book accommodation in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Leonora, Meekatharra and Marble Bar well ahead, and do not assume fuel is available outside business hours in small towns.

Where do people fossick in Western Australia?

These are the public districts Western Australia is known for. Boundaries, current tenements and designated areas change, so confirm the status of any specific ground before you travel.

Gold1893

Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the Golden Mile

Goldfields-Esperance region, east of Perth on the Great Eastern Highway. Kalgoorlie-Boulder is the service hub, with the old fields at Kanowna, Bulong, Broad Arrow and Ora Banda within an hour or two by road.

The state's best known goldfield, with old outlying fields at Kanowna, Bulong, Broad Arrow and Ora Banda within a couple of hours.

History and access

History: Paddy Hannan, Thomas Flanagan and Daniel O'Shea recovered about 100 ounces of alluvial gold near Mount Charlotte in June 1893, and Hannan registered the claim at Coolgardie on 17 June. Around 1,000 prospectors were at work on the new find by the end of that month. Weeks later Will Brookman and Sam Pearce pegged, registered or acquired 17 leases including the Ivanhoe, Great Boulder and Lake View on the ground that became the Golden Mile. Half a million ounces had been extracted by 1898, and 1903 was the peak year at more than a million ounces. Before consolidation the Golden Mile supplied about 40 per cent of the national annual output, and it produced 40,030,343 ounces up to the formation of Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines in March 1989.
What has been found: Gold. Historically alluvial and coarse gold through the shallow workings around the outlying fields, and lode gold at depth on the Mile itself. Western Australia as a whole produced 6.7 million ounces (209 tonnes) in 2024-25, though nearly all of that is commercial mining, not hand prospecting.

Access realityThis is the most heavily pegged country in the state. Almost everything within reach of town sits inside granted mining tenements, and you cannot prospect a granted tenement without the holder's written permission. Before you unload a detector, open the live tenement and land status layers in Detector Maps to see whose ground you are on and whether anything nearby is open. TENGRAPH Web is the free public register if you need to confirm the legal status of a title. Active operations and the Super Pit are off limits entirely.

Gold1892

Coolgardie, Widgiemooltha and Kambalda

South-west of Kalgoorlie on the Great Eastern Highway, then south down the Coolgardie-Esperance Highway through Kambalda, Widgiemooltha and Larkinville.

Historic rush country south-west of Kalgoorlie, holding some of the state's best documented nugget ground around Larkinville.

History and access

History: Arthur Bayley and William Ford found gold at Fly Flat in September 1892, Bayley reporting 554 ounces to mining warden John Michael Finnerty at Southern Cross, and the reward claim was granted on 17 September. Bayley's Reward was worked until 1963 and recovered more than 500,000 ounces. At its peak in the late 1890s Coolgardie held about 15,000 residents with another 10,000 in surrounding areas, making it the state's third largest settlement, with 23 hotels, six banks, two stock exchanges and seven newspapers. The Coolgardie goldfields have produced more than 2.6 million ounces in total.
What has been found: Gold, including some of the state's best documented nugget ground. The Golden Eagle nugget came out of Larkinville, near Widgiemooltha, in January 1931.

Access realityMixed Crown land, pastoral lease and a dense patchwork of granted tenements, with active nickel and gold operations around Kambalda. Historic townsites, cemeteries and classified reserves are excluded from prospecting, and heritage relics on old workings are protected. Check the tenement and land status layers in Detector Maps before you walk any ground here, because a lot of the famous names are still held.

Gold1891-1963

Menzies, Kookynie, Leonora and Gwalia

North of Kalgoorlie on the Goldfields Highway, with Kookynie and Niagara Dam off to the east and Laverton further north-east.

A belt of old shallow workings, dry-blowing ground and abandoned townsites north of Kalgoorlie, worked over for more than a century.

History and access

History: The Shire of Menzies credits a first discovery to James Speakman in 1891, then leases registered on 1 October 1894 in the names of L R Menzie with Sir George Shenton, and Menzie with R F Scholl, which became the Lady Shenton and Florence mines. The district held an estimated 10,000 residents by 1896, but output fell from 35,000 ounces in 1905 to 2,787 ounces in 1909 and the population dropped below 1,000 by 1910. At Gwalia the Sons of Gwalia lease was registered in 1896 under Thomas Tobias, and Herbert Hoover, later the 31st US President, was general manager from 1 May 1898. By 1919 it was the deepest mine in Western Australia. It closed after the headframe was damaged on 21 December 1963, and the town's population fell from about 1,200 to 40 within three weeks.
What has been found: Gold. This belt of old shallow workings, dry-blowing ground and abandoned townsites is long-established detecting country, though the accessible ground has been worked over for more than a century.

Access realityThe 965km Golden Quest Discovery Trail runs from Coolgardie in the south to Laverton in the north and is the natural touring spine for this area. The trail is a driving route, not permission to prospect. Ground either side is largely pastoral lease and granted tenement, so read the tenure and tenement layers in Detector Maps as you work your way along it. Gwalia's townsite and museum precinct is a heritage site, not a fossicking area.

Gold1890

The Murchison: Cue, Mount Magnet, Meekatharra and Sandstone

Mid West and Murchison, north-east of Perth. Mount Magnet, Cue and Meekatharra sit on the Great Northern Highway, with Sandstone and the ghost towns of Nannine and Peak Hill off to the sides. Meekatharra is roughly 500km inland from Geraldton.

Mid West goldfield country of old alluvial ground, state batteries, mullock heaps and abandoned townsites along the Great Northern Highway.

History and access

History: Nannine, north-east of what is now Meekatharra, was the site of the first discovery on the Murchison field, with gold found there in 1890. The Murchison Goldfield was proclaimed in September 1891. At Cue, Michael Fitzgerald's party found gold at the Kintore Blow on New Year's Day 1892, and his associate Tom Cue rode about 80km to Nannine to register the claim, which is how the town got its name. Cue was established as a town in 1893 and became the centre of the Murchison Goldfields, with a further major find creating Day Dawn nearby, where the Great Fingall mine ran until 1918. Meekatharra was first settled in 1896 and is now the main centre in the region, where small-scale gold mining continues today.
What has been found: Gold, both from old alluvial and dry-blowing ground and around the shallow reef workings. The region's state batteries, mullock heaps and abandoned townsites are the visible record of it.

Access realityPastoral leases cover most of the Murchison. Pastoral lease is still Crown land for prospecting purposes, but you must take all reasonable and practicable steps to tell the pastoralist where you will be and for how long, keep to necessary trips, avoid damaging fences and gates, and comply with reasonable requests about stock water, dogs, firearms and campsites. Exploration tenements are widespread here too, so check status in Detector Maps first and know which lease and which tenement you are on before you make contact. The historic workings layer and the LiDAR hillshade are worth a long look out here before you drive.

Gold1911

Yalgoo and Paynes Find

Mid West, on and near the Great Northern Highway. Paynes Find is about five hours north of Perth, with Yalgoo further on to the north-west. This is the closest historic goldfield country to Perth.

The closest historic goldfield country to Perth, home to the only working gold battery left in Western Australia.

History and access

History: Paynes Find is named for the prospector Thomas Payne, who was first to discover gold in the area and first to register a gold lease with the Mines Department, for which he received free crushing of his first ore at the state battery. The townsite was gazetted in 1911, the same year the Paynes Find Gold Battery was built, and the settlement's population was estimated at about 500 by the 1930s. The battery is the only working gold battery left in Western Australia and now runs as a visitor attraction.
What has been found: Gold. The Shire of Yalgoo shows gold nuggets found in its area and treats prospecting as one of the district's drawcards.

Access realityThe Shire of Yalgoo sets out the position plainly: a Miner's Right lets you work Crown land including pastoral leases with prior notice to the lessee, written permission is required from the holder on granted tenements, and national parks, nature reserves, townsites and other classified reserves such as cemeteries are excluded. A Permit to Enter is required to search for minerals on private property such as farmland. The land status and tenement layers in Detector Maps show you which of those categories the ground under your feet falls into before you commit to a track.

Gold & gems1890

Marble Bar and Nullagine, East Pilbara

East Pilbara, inland from Port Hedland. Marble Bar is roughly a three hour drive from Port Hedland, and Nullagine is 296km south-east of Port Hedland. Both are small towns with long distances between services.

Remote East Pilbara towns known for gold plus red jasper, tiger iron, tiger eye, jade, haematite, citrine and amethyst.

History and access

History: Gold was discovered in the Marble Bar area in 1890 and the town was officially gazetted in 1893. Its population peaked at around 5,000 during the mining boom against roughly 410 residents today. The town takes its name from a nearby formation of marble-like jasper that early settlers mistook for marble. The Comet Gold Mine and Museum south of town documents the era, and gold, silver, copper and jade are still worked in the district. Nullagine is an old gold rush town in its own right.
What has been found: Gold, plus the gemstone and lapidary material the district is known for: Marble Bar red jasper, tiger iron, tiger eye, local jade, haematite and citrine, and amethyst from around Nullagine. Museum staff have reported that around 90 per cent of enquiries come from travellers heading across from eastern Australia specifically for the stone.

Access realityVery remote, very hot, and closed off by the wet from about November to March. Station country and modern exploration tenements cover much of the district, and the ABC has reported that some material comes only from specific pastoral leases. The Marble Bar and Chinaman's Pools sit in an A-class reserve where removing rock can attract a fine of up to $10,000. Ask locally in town before you head out, check tenement status in Detector Maps, and download the area offline while you still have signal, because much of the Pilbara has no mobile coverage at all.

Gold1885

Halls Creek and the East Kimberley

East Kimberley, on the Great Northern Highway between Fitzroy Crossing and Kununurra. Old Halls Creek lies about 15km from the current town.

Site of Western Australia's first major gold discovery, with alluvial creek systems around the old field near Old Halls Creek.

History and access

History: Charlie Hall and Jack Slattery discovered gold on 14 July 1885 in what Australian Geographic describes as Western Australia's first major gold discovery, setting off the state's first rush. From 1885 to 1887 more than 10,000 men passed through the ports of Wyndham and Derby heading for the Kimberley goldfields, though the rush itself was short-lived. The original township was relocated in 1948 because of insufficient water and highway rerouting, and the old site was finally abandoned in 1954.
What has been found: Gold, historically alluvial in the creek systems around the old field. The Kimberley is also known for other minerals and gemstones, but much of that country is under other forms of tenure.

Access realityThis is the hardest region in the state to plan for. The wet season shuts access for months, Aboriginal land interests and Native Title are extensive, and permits may be needed just to travel some roads. Old Halls Creek is a heritage site, not a fossicking area. Talk to the shire about permits and road conditions, and read the land status and tenement layers in Detector Maps carefully before committing to the drive.

Gemsmid 1960s

Gascoyne Junction and the Kennedy Range

Gascoyne region, inland from Carnarvon. Gascoyne Junction sits near the Kennedy Range, with Mooka Creek in the surrounding station country.

Station country inland from Carnarvon that gives mookaite its name, quarried at Mooka Creek since about the mid 1960s.

History and access

History: This district gives its name to mookaite, the banded jasper taken from Mooka Creek on Mooka Station, on the western side of the Kennedy Range. The material has been quarried by specimen miners since about the mid 1960s and is well known to lapidary collectors for its reds, yellows, purples and creams. It is one of the few distinctly Western Australian gemstones with a recognised name attached to a place.
What has been found: Mookaite jasper, along with other jasper and chalcedony material reported through the wider Gascoyne. Marble Bar traders also handle mookaite sourced from Mooka Station.

Access realityBe realistic about this one. Published accounts, including advice attributed to the Carnarvon Tourist Bureau, describe the mookaite deposits as leased by specimen miners and off limits to fossickers, so do not treat a published locality name as an invitation. Fossicking and collecting rocks, gemstones or fossils is not permitted in Kennedy Range National Park, and fossils are protected under the Conservation and Land Management Regulations 2002. If you want mookaite, check the tenement layer in Detector Maps to see who holds the ground, then ask in Carnarvon or Gascoyne Junction to confirm who currently holds it and whether any access is offered.

How to plan a fossicking trip in Western Australia

Sort your Miner's Right before you leave homeA Miner's Right is required for both fossicking and prospecting in Western Australia, and it is not something to organise from a roadhouse with no signal. Apply through the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration, carry proof with you, and read the full detail on our Western Australia fossicking laws page.

Check land status and tenements for the exact ground you want to walkWestern Australia has no designated public fossicking reserves the way some eastern states do. Everything depends on the land tenure under your feet. Open Detector Maps over the ground you have in mind and turn on the land status and live tenement layers, so you can see the tenure you are standing on, whether the ground is open, and which mining tenements and claims cover it, all on a phone in the field. That matters when you are 200km from the last coverage. TENGRAPH Web is the free official public record if you need to confirm the legal status of a mining tenement, petroleum title or land holding.

Contact the landholder or tenement holder, in that orderWork out whose ground you are dealing with in Detector Maps first, using the land status and tenement layers, then make the calls. On a pastoral lease, take all reasonable and practicable steps to tell the pastoralist where you will be and for how long, restrict passes to necessary trips, and comply with reasonable requests about stock water, dogs, firearms and campsite cleanliness. On a granted mining tenement you need the holder's written permission before you set foot on it. Neither is a formality, and both are much easier to arrange a fortnight out than on the day.

Study the historic workings before you drive anywhereOld dry-blowing patches, costeans, shafts and mullock heaps tell you where gold was actually worked. Detector Maps carries a century of mapped shafts, diggings, leads and mine sites, plus historic topographic maps and georeferenced historical map overlays you can lay over the ground you plan to walk, and surface geochemistry where it is available. Turn on the LiDAR hillshade across the Goldfields and Murchison, because the bare-earth terrain strips vegetation and shows the pattern of old workings, gully lines, terrace edges and spoil heaps you would drive straight past on the ground. For official geological reading, Geological Survey of Western Australia maps and notes are publicly available.

Download offline maps and set your navigation up in townMuch of the Goldfields, Murchison, Pilbara and Kimberley has no mobile coverage at all. While you still have signal, download your area in Detector Maps, mark the spots you want to check, and plan and measure your intended tracks. With the area downloaded, your GPS blue dot keeps working with no phone signal. A phone that has silently stopped loading tiles is worse than no map.

Tell a trusted person your planWA Police advise telling a trusted person your location, how long you intend to be searching, what equipment, food and water you are carrying, and any medical problems you have. Leave that written plan with someone who is not travelling with you, and include your route, intended return and vehicle details. Saved spots and a measured route in Detector Maps make it easy to write that plan down accurately instead of describing the country vaguely.

Set the vehicle up for the distances involvedCarry water, spare fuel, at least one good spare tyre and the tools to change it, recovery gear, and a comprehensive first aid kit. There can be hundreds of kilometres between service stations. Add a registered, GPS-enabled personal locator beacon or EPIRB, or a satellite phone. Plan the route in Detector Maps and measure each leg before you commit, rather than guessing distances off a road atlas.

Do you need a licence to fossick in Western Australia?

The short version

Western Australia runs on a Miner's Right: you need one to fossick or prospect, and there are no designated public fossicking reserves, so what you can do depends entirely on the land status underneath you. Broadly, Crown land including pastoral leases is open with prior notice to the lessee, granted mining tenements need the holder's written permission, private farmland needs a Permit to Enter, and national parks, nature reserves, townsites and classified reserves such as cemeteries are excluded. Fees, application steps, ground disturbance rules and penalties are set out in full on our Western Australia fossicking laws page.

Staying safe out there

Unfenced shaftsWA Police warn of abandoned shafts dropping up to 30 metres, often unmarked, uncovered, or covered by nothing more than rusting corrugated iron.

The map is incompleteMore than 190,000 abandoned mine features are listed, surveyed 1999 to 2011 near towns and roads. Absence from the map is not evidence of clear ground.

Collapsing groundWorkSafe WA warns weathered ground subsides under a vehicle or person, and old blasting weakens rock. Vegetation hides shafts. Do not walk workings at dusk.

Never go undergroundWorkSafe WA names methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide underground, and oxidising minerals strip oxygen. People lose consciousness without warning.

Failing structuresOld timbers, ladders, buildings, pumps and tanks collapse under weight. Highwalls fail, saturated waste heaps slip, and old nitroglycerine explosives become unstable.

Flooded workingsOften saline, acidic or contaminated, with submerged equipment and sharp temperature changes. Do not swim in them.

Water and fuel marginsWA Police advise at least three litres per person per day plus spare, stored in several places. Plan fuel on a real margin, not a best case.

No mobile coverageWA Police advise always carrying a registered, GPS-enabled PLB or EPIRB plus a comprehensive first aid kit. A beacon works anywhere, no subscription.

Stay with the vehicleIf lost or broken down, stay put. The vehicle gives shade, is easier to spot from the air and shows a far greater infra-red signature.

Roads close after rainUnsealed roads are restricted or closed after rain. Check the Main Roads WA Travel Map and shire road condition reports each day before setting out.

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time of year to go?

April to September. Winter is the only sensible window across most of Western Australia's fossicking country. The Goldfields and Murchison are cool enough to work all day, and the Pilbara and Kimberley are out of the wet season, when unsealed roads up north are often restricted or impassable. October to March means extreme heat and long distances between help.

Where should a first-timer base themselves?

Kalgoorlie-Boulder or Coolgardie is the usual first trip. You get accommodation, fuel, prospecting shops that know the local ground, mechanics, and the 965km Golden Quest Discovery Trail as a ready-made touring route from Coolgardie north to Laverton. If you want something closer to Perth for a shorter trip, the Paynes Find and Yalgoo country on the Great Northern Highway is the nearest historic goldfield.

Do I need a metal detector, or can I pan?

Western Australia is detector country. Most of the goldfields are arid with no reliable running water, which is why the old-timers dry-blew rather than panned. Bring a detector if you have one, and consider hiring or buying locally in Kalgoorlie where the shops can tell you what settings people actually use on that ground. No equipment of any kind changes the fact that finding gold is never a given.

Can I camp while I am out there?

Camping is not automatically allowed just because you hold a Miner's Right, and the two permissions are separate things. Caravan parks, station stays and shire campgrounds operate in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Menzies, Leonora, Meekatharra and Marble Bar. If you want to camp on a pastoral lease, ask the lessee at the same time as you notify them about prospecting, and check current fire restrictions with the shire.

Do I need a four-wheel drive?

For the sealed touring routes and the main goldfields towns, no. For station tracks, creek crossings, anything in the Pilbara or Kimberley, and anywhere after rain, yes, with high clearance. Carry two spare tyres if you can, because the gravel out there is hard on rubber and recovery is slow and expensive.

Is it actually worth the distance?

It depends what you want from the trip. Western Australia has the deepest and best documented goldfields history in the country, remarkable ghost towns like Gwalia and Kookynie, and country that most people never see. Treat the history, the drive and the ghost towns as the reason you went, and anything you find as a bonus. Plenty of people go home with nothing but a good trip.
