Located between Coolgardie and Widgiemooltha. A small settlement from the 1890's goldrush, nothing remains of the town today, and denotes more the area. Apart from modern and abandoned goldmines, there are several historic specimen mines/prospects in the area, often difficult to locate in the thick scrub. A further few are leased by local prospectors and are off limits. These mines have produced elbaite, rose quartz, common opal and andalusite. The Giles prospect has arguably produced the world's best ferrocolumbite crystals.
