Leonora, with its wide main street and many old buildings exhibits some of its past character while providing modern facilities and services. Gwalia located a short distance from town is a ghost town although still home for some old and new residents. The old store, guesthouse and many other cottages can be viewed first hand. The State Hotel was the first of Western Australia's State Hotels built (in 1903) at a cost of £6000 for building and furnishings (now the 'St Barbara Mines' Mining Office). A museum and the famous Hoover House is also located within this Historic precinct.
Please note that the long western section of the trail between Leonora and Ora Banda (via Copperfield and Davyhurst) has no food or fuel outlets, and the only camping and toilet facilities are at Rowles Lagoon. Before undertaking this section of the trail, it is vital that you ensure you have a full tank of fuel, plenty of water and a supply of food.
