- Abstract:
  The article focuses on Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The town is examined as an example of the prosperity in Western Australia created by its role as a center of the mineral and energy industries and the high wages paid by almost all industries in the province due to its shortage of labor. Kalgoorlie's high percentage of millionaire residents is noted.
