Western Australia Goldfields & Mining Centres Wall Map 1934

Western Australia’s Gold Frontier — Goldfields & Mining Centres Wall Map (1934)

Follow the seams that shaped a state. First issued in 1934 and prepared by S. C. Ward (Stockbrokers), Adelaide, this full-colour wall map gathers Western Australia’s goldfields, mineral fields, and gold-bearing areas into a single, authoritative view. Mining centres stand out with calm clarity; belts and districts resolve into a landscape of enterprise and endurance. Part resource map, part economic time capsule—it brings the story of WA’s gold to your wall.

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a working record of the ground that drove towns, railheads, and livelihoods. Every labelled field and gold-bearing tract reflects choices made at the tip of a pick and the edge of a ledger. Perfect for mining historians, educators, collectors, geologists, prospectors, and families with WA roots, it invites study, conversation, and remembrance.

Display it in offices, council chambers, libraries, museums, classrooms, or at home to spark reflection and discovery.
