Kathleen Valley > Kathleen Valley about
Kathleen Valley
Western Australia
Located in the Leonora District
Latitude : 27 31 S Longitude : 120 34 E
Kathleen is an abandoned townsite in the East Murchison Goldfield, located about 50 km north of Leinster. Gold was discovered in the area in 1897, and a Townsite gazetted in 1900. Locals originally referred to the place as Kathleen Valley, as the original gold find was in a valley. When the townsite was gazetted, the Inspector of Plans in the Department of Lands and Surveys thought the name incongruous, and dropped the "Valley" from the name. Names after kathleen Colreavy, wife of well know Yilgarn pioneer leo Colrevy.
