Yalgoo Region

Midway between Geraldton and Mount Magnet, Yalgoo is a tiny outback community whose history is intertwined with gold and sheep. A magnificent Spanish mission‑style convent and a collection of colonial buildings remind visitors of the town’s boom days, while the surrounding red dirt and mulga scrub conceal granite monoliths and seasonal wildflowers. The Joker’s Tunnel – a hand‑dug 19th‑century mining tunnel – provides a cool refuge on hot days and a unique glimpse into the past. Residents enjoy birdwatching at the small dam behind town where native species congregate and know of a mural in the railway building that tells local stories to those who seek it out.
