Located 38 km north of Kalgoorlie and 633 km east of Perth.
It was once a thriving and successful gold mining town, known originally as Kurawah it is said that Broad Arrow changed its name in 1893 because a prospector, having found gold in the area, marked the route to the spot with a series of Broad Arrows.
Like so many gold towns Broad Arrow experienced a spectacular boom and an equally spectacular bust. The gold rush started in 1893, the railway arrived (from Kalgoorlie) and the town was gazetted in 1896, and the following year the municipality of Kurawah came into existence.
