The Eastern Goldfields is part of the Western Australian Goldfields in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. The region encompasses the towns of Kalgoorlie, Boulder, Coolgardie, Kambalda, Southern Cross and other smaller settlements within this area.
The name is derived in two parts: Eastern in relation to its location from Perth, and Goldfields as the name suggests comes from the mining of gold in the region.
Water to the area is supplied by the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme.
