Located 663 km east of Perth via Kalgoorlie and 66 km northeast of Kalgoorlie. Ora Banda (the name is Spanish meaning 'band of gold) is now a virtual ghost town.

Gold was discovered in the Ora Banda district in 1893 and shortly afterwards the Weston brothers established the Ora Banda mine. The mine continued to operate until the late 1970s although it was forced to stop operations during World War I because of the lack of water.
