Great Eastern Highway
Great Eastern Highway, Western Australia is an important highway link between Perth, the eastern wheatbelt and the eastern goldfields. It is a part of the National Highway linking Perth to Adelaide and signed as National Highway 94. It runs from Perth to the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie. National Highway 94, however, branches off south after Coolgardie and it continues until Norseman.
The highway runs parallel to the Mundaring to Kalgoorlie water pipeline, which supplies water drawn from Perth's Mundaring Reservoir to Kalgoorlie, hundreds of kilometres away and was completed in 1903.
Towns and settlements along the way to Kalgoorlie-Boulder include Northam, Meckering, Cunderdin, Tammin, Kellerberrin, Doodlakine, Merredin, Burracoppin, Bodallin, Moorine Rock, Southern Cross, Yellowdine, Boorabin, Bullabulling and Coolgardie.
