Located just off the Eyre Highway, the Kimba Gawler Range is a museum and village formed by the Kimba Historic Society. Their goal was to preserve the knowledge and insight into how life was for our pioneers, ho founded the region in the late 1800's. The sight houses 17 buildings open Tuesdays to Thursdays and on Sundays, due to the fact duties are done entirely by volunteers.
A short distance from town is White Knobs Lookout. The lookout offers a fantastic panoramic view of Kimba and its surrounding region and sculptures of Edward John Eyre and his tracking guide, whose skills assisted in the exploration and survival during extremely harsh conditions, from which the Eyre peninsula rightfully received its name.
The Roora Reserve Nature Trail is 6 kilometres of bushland path, categorising the local fauna and flora, along with a few artificial creations that add some guaranteed sight seeing along the way.

Norseman Pictorial - Western Australia.

Norseman is a small mining town with some mining still taking place. There's a huge interesting mine dump in the town which towers around the area compiled from the crushed mining rock after processing. There's also a great lookout at the top of hill overlooking the whole area.
