Australian History

I originated from gold being discovered in Western Australia in 1886.
My name comes from the Aboriginal name of a nearby river.
My population was 1,500 prior to World War II, now only about 200 remain.

Between 1895 and 1914 I boomed and contained a number of general stores, three hotels, eight stamp mills and a population of over 3,000.

Bulong, 34kms from Kalgoorlie?

No sorry Manpa

I was surveyed in 1897 and gazetted in 1899.
Besides gold other minerals were mined in the area including diamonds and other gemstones.

Also a timber area.
The man who robbed the PO (the 2 women he shot survived) ended up in Ararat Lunatic Asylum.
There was a gold mine in the area with a bird's name.

I had to go to google!
