- Bonnie Vale, Western Australia
Bonnie Vale is a goldfields townsite near Coolgardie in Western Australia.
The town was gazetted in 1897. It was apparently named after Bonnie, a prospector who picked up a 7 oz troy (220 g) nugget here in May/June 1894. [LandInfo WA|c|B|2007-06-08] It is famous as the site of the Varischetti mine rescue of 1907, when Italian gold miner Modesto Varischetti was rescued after being trapped for nine days in an underground air pocket.
It serves as a stop on the Prospector rural train service.
