Part of the State's history and particularly the early gold discoveries.
A graded gravel road that is kept in good condition and is well used by locals.
Goldfields Road is also known as Yarragin Road and was used by many early explorers. There are still wells along the road within the shire and these are also in the MI. There is some variation to the original alignment due to this part now being on private property.
Good Degree, where it can be travelled on. Some variation but this is not a big problem.

A corrugated iron building still stands on the site and has had other buildings incorporated
Prior to 1922, only a smal amount of electricity was generated in town and this was for business purposes only and provided by induviduals. Between 1922 and 1924 electric lighting was installed in the main street and at the hospital and power was generated by a 19 hp unit. Various people operated the power supply until 1964/1965 when grid power arrived in town.
Good Degree. No internal fabric remains.
Poor - and incorporated with other buildings.

Constructed from 1926
The association with Sir William Hesseltine and the age of the building is significant.
The School House is located in a residential section of Wyalkatchem on a corner block The land is flat and sandy in nature. A small native garden has been planted in the front yard. The lot is full enclosed by a cyclone mesh fence (approximately 2 metres high) on the western, northern and eastern sides. A 1 metre high mesh fence, with timber top and bottom rails, runs across the front (southern) of the property and along the southern portion of the western boundary. A wrought iron gate is centrally located along this fence. The house is a single storey, timber framed building clad with weatherboards to the front and sides. Asbestos cement sheeting has been used at the rear. The gable roof is covered with corrugated galvanised iron which has been painted red. At the front, the roof extends down to form a skillion roof for the verandah. A skillion roof is attached to the western side of the building forming a side verandah. This verandah hs been enclosed with asbestos cement sheeting to the lower section of the wall with louvre windows above. At the rear, the roof has again been extended down to form a skillion roofed extension, although this roof does not run across the full width of the house. This rear verandah area has also been enclosed and is clad with asbestos cement sheeting. A single brick chimney, with string course is situated towards the eastern side of the building. The interior has been divided into four rooms under the main roof with two additional rooms in the enclosed, western side verandah and a bathroom and laundry under the rear verandah. The front door opens directly into the main room (lounge) with centrally located doorways leading into the kitchen at the rear and thence to the back of the house. There is no central passage. The main bedroom opens direcly into the lounge room. A secondary bedroom is located immediately to the north of the main bedroom with a door opening into the kitchen. Access to the two rooms on the verandah are from the second bedroom and front verandah. The building has retained original tongued and grooved floorboards, casement windows to the front and eastern elevations, a double hung sash window in the seondary bedroom and original joinery. Some of the interior wall cladding has been replaced with plasterboard. The ornate timber mantle piece in the lounge is not original.
Built in 1926 at a cost of 475 pounds and was the first house built for teaching staff in Wyalkatchem. Mr W Heseltine was Headmaster at Wyalkatchem school from 1932 to 1934 and lived in this house. His son, Sir William Heseltine was private secretarty to Sir Robert menzies and then held the same position with Queen Elizabeth II. The building became a museum in 1984 and is maintained by the Shire.
Good Degree. The building is very much as built and should be preserved.
Reasonable. But remedial work is required to the roof and gutters.

Constructed from 1881
Part of the Olad Goldfields Road well system, but with a different construction style.
A rectagular well or tank 5 feet x 3 feet x 5 feet deep.
Built in July 1881 as one of a series of wells on the Yarragin Road, now the Goldfields Road by John Haywood.
Fair - it is fenced and the constructon is ok, but needs better maintenance to prevent weed encroachment.

Constructed from 1882
Water supply on the Old Goldfields Road.
Would have had stone walls but little evidence can be seen today. However it is a good water supply. Could be more described as a pond.
Built in 1882 as part of the water supply for the Goldfields.
Poor- due to lack of maintenance.
