Halls Creek  

Halls Creek lies at the junction of the Great Northern Highway and Duncan Road in the Eastern Kimberley. It has the site if the first goldrush in Western Australia following a strike in 1885 and you can still find gold in the area, particularly around the old townsite 16 kilometres East of Halls Creek which also features ruins of mudbrick buildings and a small cemetery. Mineral exploration continues on a large scale in the area.

The Town is also the hub of a vast cattle industry. Russian Jack a gold mining character from the turn of the century that typified the hardy brand of early Halls Creek pioneers has beeen immortalised in bronze. The statue depicts him in the act of pushing his sick friend in a wheelbarrow over 300 kilometres from Halls Creek to Wyndham.
