Kalgoorlie: Chunky Timbers and Tall Tales Walking Tour

As Chunky shares his journey – from sideshow alleys and road trains to making the Goldfields his home – guests will be drawn into the humour, history, and sheer character that makes him a local legend. The tour introduces guests to the fine art of wood-turning where every piece is individual and authentic to the unique characters of each natural wood specimen. Discover how reclaimed Goldfields timbers are transformed into one-of-a-kind creations – from furniture and wine racks to his famous “Nullarbor Beads.” Every piece carries the rugged spirit of the outback, crafted with a zero-waste philosophy that breathes new life into forgotten wood. Learn about the Great Western Woodlands that border Kalgoorlie-Boulder where more than 20% of Australia's flowering plant species and 30% of Australia's eucalyptus species are found, making it a highly significant bioregion at a national and international level.
