Interesting little place, located between Kalgoorlie & Norseman, had a population of 6,000 now 1500 due to decline in mining.

There's a 24hr free camp in town, friendly ranger who doesn't mind you staying for a few days if needed as there is no caravan park.

There' a lookout on red hill rd, highest point in the area & only a couple of kl from town, sealed road & accessable with a caravan. This over looks the entire area, mines & village including 500sq kl of lake Lefroy A saltish lake from early wet times when many rivers flowed, now landlocked.  Worth a look.

You are right JC, great spot to stop at. Clean and safe. Close to supermarket. Love the way WA put in the free camp spots.

We liked Kambalda - great little free camp, walk to supermarket and shops. If you don't have a shower onboard, can get nice hot shower at the recreation centre next door - $2.50 from memory.

When we were there couple of years back you could camp at the mining village.  Has that closed now?

 The camp is in the west village behind the community centre a walking distance to woolies.
