Hollands Track
This track, which is still visible, dates back to the gold rush days. John Holland was an enterprising man who was determined to reach the Goldfields as quickly as possible.
With a party of four men, he cut a track between Broomehill and Coolgardie. This 320 mile track became an important route to the Goldfields. Many prospectors came from the eastern states by ship and travelled up from Albany by train from Broomehill before setting off along the track, often on foot with their possessions in a wheelbarrow.
The track crosses Newdegate Road approximately twenty-three kilometres east of Lake Grace. There is a memorial plaque at the site. John Holland died in 1936 at the age of 80. He is buried in Coolgardie.
