Leonora Tourist Information Centre is the service centre for the mining, exploration and the well established pastoral industry. When visiting or passing through the historic northern Goldfields, don't miss out on a stop at the Leonora Tourist and Information Centre for a wander down memory lane. 

This visitor information centre is where you’ll find all that you need to know about the historic Gwalia Museum and Village. 

In 1896, Leonora was a small settlement of hessian and timber shacks. Within a few years, the growing town boasted many of the buildings on the Leonora Heritage Trail.

All details of attractions and things to do and see can be obtained at the Centre along with all your souvenirs, memorabilia, and other retail items available for purchase and brochures on all the regions in WA.

A 9-hole golf course and clubhouse provide a challenge to all golfers. There’s also a clay target shooting club that holds an annual 'Golden Nugget' shoot. The Race Club attracts large crowds to the dirt track situated 4kms from the town. It conducts three race meetings each year culminating in the Leonora Cup meeting conducted in September of each year. This event includes some pacing events.

The town has a resident doctor, modern hospital and is serviced by a volunteer St Johns Ambulance service. Modern schooling is available in Leonora from pre-school right through to Junior High School.

The thriving town of Leonora grew from the resourcefulness of early gold prospectors and miners and the tenacity of pastoralists.
