Windanya is a ghost town located between Kalgoorlie and Leonora in the Goldfields–Esperance region of Western Australia.
During the mid-1890s gold was discovered in the area and the Australasia mine was established by 1897. Following an increase in population the townsite was gazetted in 1897.[1]
The name was suggested by the surveyor H.S. King. It is the Aboriginal name for a place near Broad Arrow.[2]
