Menzies, a small historic mining town in Western Australia, has a variety of attractions and activities for visitors. One of the must-see attractions is Lake Ballard, where you can view the famous Antony Gormley Statues, an art installation of 51 sculptures displayed on the salt lake. The Menzies Visitor Centre is another notable stop, housing displays of local Aboriginal art and providing information about the area's history and attractions. The town's interpretive walk trails and the Menzies Cemetery offer opportunities to explore the area's heritage and natural beauty.
For a day trip, visitors can explore the interpretive panels, old buildings, and sites of interest throughout the town, and enjoy a mid-morning break at a local cafe. The Menzies Hotel, which offers a beer garden and home-cooked meals, provides a taste of the town's history and hospitality. Nature enthusiasts can also venture to the stunning Lake Ballard to admire the Gormley Statues and take a trip to the "living ghost town" of Kookynie, part of the Golden Quest Discovery Trail, to explore its mining history and heritage sites.
