Interesting facts about this location
Bonnie Vale, Western Australia
Bonnie Vale is an abandoned goldfields townsite 14 km north of Coolgardie in Western Australia. The town was gazetted in 1897. It was apparently named after Bonnie, a prospector who picked up a 7 oz troy (220 g) nugget here in May/June 1894. It is famous as the site of the Varischetti mine rescue of 1907, when Italian gold miner Modesto Varischetti was trapped for nine days in a mine when it was flooded after a thunderstorm. Varischetti survived in an air pocket until rescued.
