Goongarrie Cemetery
Gold was found in Goongarrie in May
1893 by Billy Frost and Jack Bennett.
This once prosperous town boasted a post
and telegraph office, 2 hotels and
several shops which did a good trade as
a stopover for the daily coach from
Coolgardie to Menzies. By 1903
Goongarrie was reduced to 1 hotel and 1
store. The remnants of the old town - 3
stone railway fettlers cottages - can
still be seen on the Goldfields Highway,
40 km south of Menzies.
