W.A. School of Mines, Kalgoorli WA
“The WA School of Mines was started 1902 and was basically set up to train people to work in the mines and to solve problems in the mining industry. It wasn’t set up as an educational institution – it was set up by The Department of Mines and they also paid for a curator to put together the mineral collection. There are only 4 school of mines left in Australia.”
