Nullagine, Western Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nullagine, Western Australia is an old goldrush town in the Western Australia's northwest region and located on the Nullagine River 296 km south east of Port Hedland and 1186 km north of Perth on the old Great Northern Highway.
Its population was 1500 prior to WWII, now only about 250 remains with the decline of gold mining. However the town still attracts fossickers and prospectors. Minerals like agate, asbestos, antimony, beryl, chalcedony, copper, jade, jasper, manganese, tiger eye and wolfram had been found here.
[edit] Iron ore
Newly discovered iron ore deposits to the southwest may lead to a revival of the town. [1]
