Hannans

The Hannans area covers Kalgoorlie's northern edge: the suburb of Hannans, the bushland and small residential pocket of Mullingar, and the golf course estate at Karlkurla. Households here run family 4WDs, caravans and work utes, and plenty of the work is about getting vehicles ready for trips out bush.

Suburbs in Hannans

Hannans holds Kalgoorlie's northernmost homes, about 4 km from the town centre, with the 200 ha Karlkurla Bushland Park taking up much of its north. Mullingar is mostly bushland and old mining ground, with the Hannans North Tourist Mine and the Kalgoorlie Speedway on the Goldfields Highway. Karlkurla has a small, growing residential estate beside the Kalgoorlie Golf Course and a little industry in the south. Being on the edge of town, the bush starts at the back fence, so 4WDs, trailers and camping gear are everywhere.

Common auto electrical jobs in Hannans

Life on Kalgoorlie's northern edge means short commutes into town and long weekends in the bush. These are the jobs that come up most.

Dual batteries for bush trips

From the northern suburbs it is only minutes to the tracks heading out toward Kanowna and beyond, and many locals spend weekends prospecting or camping. A dual battery system runs a fridge and lights without risking the starting battery. On newer vehicles, a DC-DC charger is the right way to charge the second battery from a smart alternator. Our guide on how a dual battery system works explains the options.

4WD wiring that survives corrugations

Goldfields tracks are rough and dusty, and corrugations shake every connection on a 4WD. Accessory wiring that was zip-tied loosely or joined with cheap connectors is usually the first thing to fail. UHF radios, spotlights, compressors and fridges all need properly sized cable, a fuse near the battery and secure routing away from heat and sharp edges. Good crimps and heatshrink keep red dust and moisture out of the joints.

Camper trailers and caravans

Camper trailers are a common sight in Hannans and Karlkurla driveways. Between trips they sit in the sun, and plugs, earths and batteries suffer. Before a long trip, check the trailer lights, the electric brakes, the breakaway battery and the charging from the tow vehicle. A van battery that will not charge while towing is often a thin cable or a smart alternator problem. See why isn't my caravan battery charging while towing for the usual causes.
