Description

Kalgoorlie is derived from the Wangka word karlkurla, meaning place of the silky pears. If this was a place of silky pears it would have been very important for local Aboriginal people. Silky pears, also known as bush bananas, were a staple food in the diet of the people of the central desert. They ate the flowers as well as the fruit. More mature fruit was cooked hot embers.
