Good As Gold Tours crafts immersive, story-driven experiences that reveal the real heart of Western Australia’s Goldfields, from Kalgoorlie’s grand streets to remote ghost towns and vast salt lakes. Led by passionate local hosts, each tour blends history, geology and character-filled stops to turn your visit into a rich, multi-layered journey rather than just a drive between towns.​

Short walking tours around central Kalgoorlie provide an engaging introduction to the city’s Gold Rush past, architecture and colourful characters, ideal for first-time visitors wanting to get their bearings and understand what makes this outback hub tick. These relaxed strolls take in key heritage buildings, public art and viewpoints while weaving in tales of boom times, busts and the people who shaped the region.​

Half-day tours expand the story further, combining landmark lookouts, iconic pubs, historic sites and surrounding townships such as Coolgardie to showcase how the Goldfields developed beyond Kalgoorlie itself. With comfortable transport and insightful commentary, guests can cover more ground without feeling rushed, making these tours perfect for those with limited time.​

Full-day and multi-day itineraries venture deeper into the outback, linking extraordinary destinations like Lake Ballard, with its striking Antony Gormley sculptures scattered across a shimmering salt lake, and the beautifully preserved ghost town of Gwalia, where history feels remarkably close. Extended journeys may also include other small towns, station stays, national parks and character-filled local pubs, creating a seamless Goldfields road trip guided by locals who know the backstories behind every stop.​

Whether joining a small public group or arranging a private charter tailored to specific interests, guests enjoy comfortable vehicles, thoughtful pacing and plenty of time for photos and questions. Paired with a stay at sister property Allora House in Kalgoorlie, Good As Gold Tours offers a cohesive, deeply authentic way to experience one of Australia’s most fascinating historic regions.
