Yundamindera, Western Australia

Yundamindera, also once known as The Granites, is an abandoned town located between Leonora and Laverton in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.

Gold was discovered in the area in the late 1897 after gold at the nearby field of Pennyweight Point began to run out. Two prospectors named Wood and his nephew Deimal found gold near the Granites and following an influx of prospectors and miners declaration of a townsite was deemed necessary by 1901. The townsite was gazetted later the same year. The goldfield warden proposed the name Yundamindera which he had told the locals was the Aboriginal name for the area. The meaning of the name is unknown.
