Spot on RR 
.
"The pilbara goldfield was proclaimed on 1 October 1888, with Mr C. W. Nyulasky being appointed the first mining warden. His reign was to be short. He became I'll and died May 1889. The cause was said to be sunstroke. Mr Lamden Owens succeeded him as warden.
The Pilbara goldfield is devided into to main districts, those of Nullagine and Marble Bar. The alluvial deposits in both areas are extensive. And have the distinction of holding the record for the most number of nuggets over 50 ounces ever found."

Funny thing is Bucketlist posted a pick of them nice nuggets from there just after I asked the question, I thought that might have given it away

I did think on Buckelist post. But that would have been a guess.
I had a couple guesses and got it wrong.
Great question DD. Lots of interesting reading
Staying with your Nugget theme...
How many nuggets over 1000 ounces found in Australia?
Extra imaginary points for How many in the rest of the world.
(Probably in your book 8) )

This isn't an Australian question but it is about gold.
What was the richest building ever constructed?

You missed the fake bonus points for how many nuggets of 1000+ ounces found in the rest of the world.
The answer is 2. Another example of Australia punching well above its weight.
