Leonora is a town in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia, located 833 kilometres northeast of Perth, and 237 kilometres north of the city of Kalgoorlie.

The shops, with their footpath verandas, and the turn-of-the-century hotels have a charm which has remained relatively unchanged by the booms and busts of the goldmining which drives the town's economy.
