N/AStatement of Significance
Significant as an important source of water on the Southern Cross to Goongarrie Road, one of the major transportation arteries to the Eastern Goldfields.
Physical Description
A number of fully covered soaks adjacent to granite rocks along the old Southern Cross to Goongarrie Road. The soaks are constructed with rock linings and are covered with framed galvanized iron. Graffitti on some of the soak covers date back to 1949. There is an old grave close to Walangie (or Deadmans) Soak, and a windlassed well over 71 Mile Soak.
History
These soaks were the only reliable source of water along an otherwise dry route and would have been important camping and tethering areas along this route.

The site is significant as the point of origin of the opening up of the Eastern Goldtields and is OF a key place in the history of the development of Western Australia, though the site is physically much modified by recent mining operations.
Physical Description
The area of mining where gold was first discovered in Coolgardie, and which became the chief alluvial gold mining area in the foundation period of Coolgardie and the stepping stone for the opening up of the Eastern Golfieids. Little remains of mining shafts and equipment that was scattered across the flat at the time of the National Trust assessment as the mine was re-activated by Coolgardie Gold NL, it is due for closure shortly.

The place has association with the establishment of the railway network to the Eastern Goldfields during the Gold Boom on the 1890s.
The place forms part of a system of reservoirs and dams established to provide water for the steam engines that once operated on the railway; a function which is no longer practised.
As with the other dams along the line, the place is now used as a recreation area by visitors.
The place is a good example of a1 dam and 1 rock catchment water source.
Physical Description
Dam ‘This is a small reservoir fed from water trapped on the rocks at Koorarawalyee. The tank is a box type and lined with stone taken as spoil during excavation. At the foot of the carrier race that connects the rock and the tank are the remains of an unidentified timber structure.’ Catchment Area ‘The Koorarwalyee catchment is a watershed of approximately 40 hectares surrounded by a contour drain, which directs water to an outlet at the entrance to the carrier race. The catchment consists of mainly grassy land, low scrub and rock. Approximately 16% of the total catchment area is rock. The drain is composed of a low rock wall and earth ditches and walls which take the water to the race entrance.’
History
In 1887 gold was discovered at Yilgarn and in 1888 the area was proclaimed a goldfield. Arthur Bayley and John Ford discovered gold in 1892 at Fly Flat (now known as Coolgardie). Shortly after this in 1894, Hannan, Flannigan and O’Shea found gold at Kalgoorlie leading to one of the biggest goldrushes in the state's history. This gold boom brought many people from throughout the state and the Eastern States to the Goldfields. The high population and a lack of fresh water due to the low rainfall and a lack of a permanent water source caused serious health and general living problems. A variety of alternative water sources were considered including condensing water, digging bores and carting water, but none were sufficient to meet the needs. This led to Premier Forrest's request to CY O'Connor, Engineer in Chief, to design and construct a water supply scheme to the goldfields. The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme was opened in 1903. The goldrush meant an increase in traffic between Perth and Kalgoorlie. Many walked or rode bicycles to the goldfields, but the increase in population meant supplies, material and water as well as people needed to be transported. The existing railway over the Darling Range was inadequate. CY O'Connor surveyed a route for a new railway line, replacing the one over the Darling Range and continuing on to Kalgoorlie which was opened in 1896. The steam trains used more than half the water they were able to carry and so an alternative water supply was needed. A series of dams and rock catchments were constructed. These utilized naturally formed granite outcrops. Low stone walls were built around the perimeter of the rock (sometimes two adjacent rocks were used). The water captured by the walls was directed into stone lined channels to either one or two dams or reservoirs. In some instances creeks were dammed to provide the water source. The water was pumped from these dams to tanks located beside the railway line. These pumps and the catchments itself were often maintained by a caretaker who lived on site. As places where water was available on the route to the goldfields, small settlements often developed around them. A number of these rock catchments and dams are now used regularly as recreation areas. Two (Karalee and Merredin) are included as sites on the National Trust's Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail.
