Goldfields Prohibited Areas Proclamations

In 2024, GALCAC created a ‘Prohibited Areas of the Goldfields’ truth telling interpretive exhibition. The exhibition was taken to each town in the region. The exhibition forms part of GALCAC’s collection of exhibitions. Requests for loans of the exhibition should be directed to info@wangka.com.au

The exhibition was sponsored by Gold Fields St Ives, with many thanks.

Kalgoorlie Prohibited Area Proclamation

A proclamation was made which prohibited Aboriginal people from being within a 6 miles radius of the Kalgoorlie Town Hall, without a ‘native pass’. Material was obtained from files held by the WA State Records Office. GALCAC hold digital copies of each source file.
