Discovered in 1894 Norseman was named after a horse. Norseman (the horse) pawed the ground uncovering a gold nugget which led to the discovery of one of the richest quartz reefs in Australia. Norseman is the last stop before Eucla and, then, the South Australian border.

Facilities available for travelers include toilets, barbeques and an Olympic sized swimming pool nearby for use in the hotter, summer months.
