The Whelarra Siding has historic significance given its association with the Wokarena-Yuna rail line.
One of the 16 railway sidings that formed part of the route between Wokarena and Yuna.
The Whelarra Siding was opened on the 3rd of May 1912 and provided water for stream locomotives for their journey up and back between Yuna and Wokarena. The rail service was largely agricultural based but a passenger service was also provided on the trains. In April 1038 diesel electric rail cars were introduced and these operated on the line until closure. The rail service was closed to Yuna on the 29th of April 1957.
