Physical Description

The former railway line is now part of the KEP track, a walking track that begins in Northam. It was created following the Western Australian Government Railways (the WAGR as it was commonly known) ceasing to operate on the Bellevue to Northam railway following the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway in 1966. The first two Eastern Railway formations were closed by an Act of Parliament in the 1960s, and the lands were vested with the Mundaring and Northam Councils. As a result most of the removable property of the WAGR - was removed from the reserve.
