History

The railway line from Goomalling to Dowerin was established as early as 1905. The Duli Progress Association was formed and lobbied for a railway line 25 miles east of the Mullewa Goomalling line. Some settlement took place through the 1920s, and the railway line was opened for traffic in April 1929.
The siding and associated townsite is on a spur line from Goomalling that continues northwards to a railhead at Kalannie, and branches eastwards at Burakin, to the railhead at Bonnie Rock. When the railway came through the area, the land opened up.
