Lawlers, Western Australia

Lawlers is a ghost town on the Old Agnew Road, 982 kilometres (610 mi) northeast of Perth, Western Australia, in the Shire of Leonora in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.

Gold was discovered in the area by Anderson, Hall and Heffernan, a party of prospectors that left Cue in 1892.

Patrick Lawler and his party arrived in 1893 and had little success, until they left and returned in 1894.

[2] A ten stamp battery was established about 4.5 kilometres (3 mi) northwest of town in 1899, on a five-acre (two-hectare) lease.

At its peak, Lawlers was the state's third-largest town, with a population of 8,000.
