Temporary Exhibition | Updated 1 decade ago

Culture and the Arts Minister John Day unveiled a 23.26kg gold nugget which will be on temporary display at the WA Museum’s Kalgoorlie-Boulder site.

Mr Day said it was a return home for the Ausrox Gold Nugget, which was discovered by metal detector in April 2010 in the Eastern Goldfields.

“It is fitting that this nugget has, in effect, come home to be on display at the WA Museum - Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the Vault exhibition which houses half of the State’s gold collection,” he said.
