Balagundi is an abandoned town[1] in Western Australia, 20 km east of Kalgoorlie. It is between Kalgoorlie and Bulong in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.
The town derives its name from a nearby well, it is Aboriginal in origin and its meaning is not known. Following a campaign by the local progress association, the town was gazetted on 26 August 1896.[2][3]
Gold mining is the main industry in the area with at least one mine still operating close to the town and further exploration being carried out.[4]
