Distinguished and Famous people from Mount Magnet
🧭 Robert Austin
Surveyor Robert Austin reached and named Mount Magnet during his difficult 1854 expedition through Western Australia. An ironstone hill interfered with his compass readings, providing the reason for the name. The journey was punishing: horses died after eating poisonous plants, equipment had to be abandoned, and water shortages eventually forced the party to retreat. Austin also reported signs of gold in the Murchison, although his later claim to recognition for its discovery was not accepted. His local association is a documented surveying expedition long before the gold-mining town developed. He subsequently worked as a surveyor and civil engineer in Queensland, a reminder that an explorer’s career did not necessarily end when an expedition did.
🎨 Joselyn Walsh
Joselyn Walsh’s paintings connect with Country around Mount Magnet and Cue. Born in Meekatharra, she made her home in Mount Magnet and began painting in 2010, becoming a committed artist with the Wirnda Barna Art Centre. The centre also identifies her role as its supervisor. Her work belongs to a living local arts community, with artists sharing skills, knowledge and stories while producing work for exhibition and sale. Walsh’s biography brings the district’s cultural story into the present, alongside the better-known accounts of surveying and mining.
