Clackline - Store Clackline is a small hamlet a few kilometres west of Northam on the Great Eastern Highway. This is the local village store. Paints a nice picture. The store opened in the 1890's and not only being a general store, it has served as a manual telephone exchange in years gone by, and also as the local post office. May 2009 |

Clackline - Train Carriage In the old days the train line ran through Clackline. These days it runs through Toodyay to the north. The local visitor map listed this place as a train museum. On the side of the carriage there is "The Kalgoorlie" indicating that this was an early Kalgoorlie Express passenger carriage. May 2009 |
