Signpost Goldfields Racing Museum

Kalgoorlie • Attractions

Western Australia’s only Horse Racing Museum awaits you! Established in 2005, this one of a kind exhibition dates back to the first Goldfields race meeting held in 1896 and features one of two of Australia’s Chronographs installed on the Kalgoorlie course in 1903. The other is placed at Flemington and is described as the famous clock tower in many historical race calls. For just a gold coin donation you can take a step back and embrace the early 1900’s by viewing the many items in the Museum including an impressive collection of old race books, enclosure passes, licenses and entry tickets, hand written committee minutes and much more. For more information, phone 08 9021 2303.
