It remains a globally significant mining and energy region and is the premier gold producer for the state. Gold and nickel production are the main drivers of the local economy, supported by agriculture, pastoral, tourism, fishing, and aquaculture industries. The region has a population of 55,000 people with a median age of 36 years. Approximately 10% of the population identifies as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. The Goldfields also has a large transient population of those who work in the region on a fly-in/fly-out basis. It is the largest region in Western Australia, bordered by the Pilbara to the north, the Wheatbelt to the west, the Great Southern to the south-west, the Southern Ocean to the south, and the WA border to the east. With a land area of 771,276 square kilometres, the Goldfields region is three times the size of Victoria and just under a third of the total land mass of Western Australia. It is home to some of the Earth's oldest rock formations, with a landscape that includes coastal plains and mountain ranges with cliffs and gorges. The region has a rich Aboriginal culture that spans thousands of years and boasts a rich biodiversity with numerous flora and fauna species, as well as several national parks and nature reserves. The Great Western Woodlands is one of the world's most important ecological areas, containing more than 20% of Australia's flora species and 25% of Australia's Eucalypt species, and is home to a variety of rare and endangered animals.
