The People of WA's Ghost Towns

120,000 records at year's end

As we begin 2026, the Ghost Towns project has over 120,000 records captured by our dedicated team of indexers.
When Phase 5 launched on 7th December, a total of 51 places are now included in the GhostsWA database,
with Bulong, Mogumber, Grimwade and Piesseville will joining the list,
not to mention the imaginatively named Bummer's Creek and Celebration City.
