Statement of Significance

The site is significant for its association with the development of transport and
communication.

Physical Description

The site is east of the Great Southern Highway, about 0.5km north of the Boyerine
Bridge. The site is marked with a plaque erected in 1988. The siding ramp is still in
place.

History

The siding was located midway between the 'stations' of Round Pool and Lime Lake -
which were 11 miles apart. Like Moojebing to the south of Round Pool it was not
gazetted as a stopping station when the Great Southern Railway first opened in June
1889.

The siding was mainly freight orientated with superphosphate, wool and grain the main
cargo. A bulk grain handling depot was located adjacent to the siding from 1959 to 1976.

A small horse paddock was fenced near the creek, west of the siding by the railways for
travellers who wished to catch the train to Wagin or Katanning for the day. GW Watson
was one patron who availed himself of this 'service' up until about 1930.

After this time it was not used and Jack Lane (snr) who lived about half a mile to the
south, used it for a vegetable garden. He would cart water in buckets from the pool to
water his garden.

Near this paddock, across the pool, exists some ruins of a stone building, possibly used by
shepherds during the nineteenth century.
