Hay Street, Kalgoorlie was a notorious red light area in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia for most of the history of Kalgoorlie. The prevalence of the brothels was part of the law and order issue of an isolated mining town, where two-up, prostitution and gold stealing were all regularly reported forms of criminality. The street and its associations would regularly be reported in mainstream media. Towards the end of the twentieth century the prostitution was less infamous, and photographs and stories were more public than in earlier times. As of July 2019 one brothel remained open.
