Bodallin

The locality of Bodallin is situated almost half-way between the large centres of Merredin and Southern Cross. The Perth - Kalgoorlie rail line passes through the town. A railway siding here preceded the establishment of the town. The siding was established in or about 1895. The town was gazetted in 1918 and would have been an important coach stop. In 1918 the town spelling was Boddalin. This changed in 1947. The Aboriginal name was Boodalin

Bodallin - Heritage Sign

There is not too much of the old Bodallin left these days. This sign depicts a little of the town's history. Just about all the pictured buildings no longer exist. March 2015. Photos Ref: BDLN001
