This small historic gold rush town once had a population of View the head frame and large dumps from the old East Murchison United gold mine. The discovery of gold in the s sparked a rush to this region — but the country the settlers came to was hot, harsh and horribly unforgiving.
This trail tells many of the stories of what was often a struggle for survival as Europeans set out to make their way in a land that was both foreign and pitiless.

Glenn Palman, who works at the nickel mine as a shift supervisor, said pretty much everyone abides by BHP's rules. Like Ms Maher, he said Leinster was a great place to live and raise kids precisely for the reasons that make it so unique. And then to have the freedom of the pool and gym and all the free amenities in town is awesome," he said.
In a statement, a spokesperson for BHP's Nickel West said the company was responsible for maintaining the town's facilities, as well as providing essential medical, power and water services.
They added that while to live in Leinster you must be a mine employee, "short-term accommodation is available for travellers and visitors to the town, who we welcome". As much as he loves living here, Mr Palman said the town does have its limits. In his case, it's so his kids can have a high school education elsewhere. It's quite a dramatic decision," he said. Many families in Leinster send their children to board elsewhere in the state once they graduate from primary school. But it was never meant to be perfect.
According to Ms Maher, most people only stay in Leinster for a few years before they move back to their old lives. It's a tough lifestyle, it really is.
