Southern Cross Senior Citizens Centre

Southern Cross Senior Citizens Centre in Southern Cross is a community day centre providing social activities and support for older adults in the Wheatbelt town of Southern Cross, 370 km east of Perth on the Great Eastern Highway at the edge of the Goldfields. The centre provides social connection, gentle activities, and community programmes for seniors in this small highway service town — named for the Southern Cross constellation by gold prospectors — that serves as a gateway to the Eastern Goldfields and a rest stop between Perth and Kalgoorlie. Southern Cross's position at the geographic gateway to the Goldfields, with its distinctive red-brown landscape and mining heritage, creates a distinctive outback setting for senior community services.
