The Location Situated approximately 600km from the state capital, Perth, this town stands out as a unique anomaly in Australia—an enduring goldmining town that has been in operation since 1893, unlike the typical ones that last only a few years. The town's main street is adorned with magnificent buildings, each serving as a testament to the wealth that has been amassed over the years. It is a city that deserves to be appreciated and cherished. The Goldfields - Esperance region has a relatively young population hence there is a wide variety of surgical presentations. There is also a sizable population of Aboriginal patients providing fantastic opportunities to learn their culture and be involved in the care of these patients close to home.
