Norseman is at the crossroads to everywhere. The discovery of a rich gold reef by Laurie Sinclair in 1894 as a result of his horse 'Norseman' uncovering a piece of gold bearing quartz, caused a town to be established and named in honour of the horse. Although the main industry is goldmining there are also vast sheep properties East of Norseman.
In town, the historical museum, Phoenix Park and the marvellous life sized corrugated iron are all worth a look. Nearby attractions include the Beacon Hill lookout, Dundas Rocks and Mt Jimberlana - deal for picnics, gemstone fossicking and camping in pristine woodlands at Peak Charles.
