Norseman is a historic goldmining town located at the junction of the Eyre and Coolgardie-Esperance Highways, 726 kilometres east of Perth. The town was named by Lawrence Sinclair in 1894 who, according to legends, discovered part of a gold reef that his horse ‘Norseman’ had pawed up when tethered for the night.
The Norseman Recreation Reserve allows parking for up to 72 hours free of charge, with a dump point and potable water located nearby at the Norseman Visitor Centre, situated on Robert Street.
There is much to see in and around Norseman, making this town the perfect place to visit. Some attractions include the Dundas Rock, which is 22 kilometres from town and is ideal for bushwalking and picnics. Visitors can also try their hand at fossicking for gemstones in the nearby bushland, with permits and directions available from the visitor centre.
