The Memorial will honour the lives  of those lost in mining as well as serving as a reminder of the importance of mine safety. The Memorial features the names of miners killed in accidents in the region from Wiluna to Norseman and from Southern cross through to beyond Kalgoorlie-Boulder. This is the only Miners Memorial in Western Australia.
