Goongarrie is an abandoned town in Western Australia, located in the Goldfield region of Western Australia 84 kilometres (52 mi) north of Kalgoorlie.
The town site was originally known as 90 Mile, the distance of the settlement from Coolgardie.
The town was known as 90 Mile and The Roaring Gimlet initially;[2] the latter name comes from the sound the south westerly wind makes as it roars through the gimlet trees.
[4][5] Goongarrie was a stop on the Kalgoorlie to Leonora railway line and is still listed as such on contemporary maps.
[6][7][8] Some of the gold mines that operated in the area were the Phoenix, the Caledonian and Lady Montefiore.
