Description

The town of Kalgoorlie began to develop in 1893 after the discovery of gold nearby. Newspaper reports indicate that by 1896 a gaol was operating in the area and receiving short-sentence prisoners, although facility may have been in use from a slightly earlier date. By the mid twentieth century the gaol had become known as the Kalgoorlie Regional Prison. It closed in 1980 with the opening of the Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison.?
