Gwalia is a former gold-mining town located north of Kalgoorlie and east of Perth in Western Australia's Great Victoria Desert. Today, Gwalia is essentially a ghost town, having been largely deserted since the main source of employment, the Sons of Gwalia gold mine, closed in 1963. Just north is the town of Leonora, which remains the hub for the area's mining and pastoral industries.
