Patrick Hannan (baptised 26 April 1840 – 4 November 1925)[1] was a gold prospector whose lucrative discovery on 14 June 1893 set off a major gold rush in the area now known as Kalgoorlie-Boulder in Western Australia.
The resulting goldfield has been mined ever since and is renowned as The Golden Mile, the richest square mile in the world. The modern open-cut mine is a vast, astonishing sight known as the Super Pit.[2]
Hannan from Quin, County Clare, and his partners Thomas Flanagan from Ennis, County Clare and Daniel Shea from County Cork, are still remembered and celebrated in Australia and in Ireland.
