Statement of Significance

An important site worth marking.

History

Karrawang was on one of the Kalgoorlie woodlines. The whole settlement was dismantled in 1937 and move to Lakeside. Karrawang was clear felled for timber for the mines. It later became a mission for Aboriginal people. An integral part of the goldfields story; a brief success followed by disappointment and extinction.
