North to Konnongorring

East to Dowerin

Goomalling - Post Office

Goomalling boasts quite a classic looking post-office which, incidentally, is for sale. I wonder whether Australia Post will lease it back after sale? October 2011

 

Goomalling - Road Board

Another fantastic looking Road Board Building. This one is being wonderfully looking after by Renascence beauty therapists. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Old Building

A sturdy old building on the main street would have a colourful past but alas, nothing to indicate what it was on or around the building. I believe this may be used as a private residence now. October 2011

 

Goomalling- Shops

Knick Knacks and the Goomalling Grocer occupy adjacent shops on the main street. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Bendigo Bank

The Bendigo Bank next to Lareema Fashions, on the main street. That bank building looks quite old - it may have been another bank in years gone by. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Tavern

The Goomalling Tavern sits on its corner, up on the main street. Typical pub - not the most glamorous building in town but certainly a landmark and a popular one at that! October 2011

 

Goomalling - Old Shop

This building is on the main street, a little west on the Tavern. It looks like it was a shop previously and it probably a private house now. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Mystique Maison

The two-storey Mystique Maison on Forrest Street provides up-market accommodation for up to 28 people. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Farmers Club

The fabulous Goomalling Farmers Club building constructed in 1912. They don't build places like this anymore! October 2011

 

Goomalling - Community Centre

The Goomalling Community Centre on the main street provides library, education and training, and health services to the local residents. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Catholic Church

The Goomalling Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The building was blessed and opened on February 24th, 1963 by Right Rev. Gregory Gomez, Abbot Nullius of New Norcia. October 2011.

 

Goomalling - Church House

The house is adjacent to the Sacred Heart Church and is probably a Church office or Church residence. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Child Care

This child care centre looks to be in quite a grand building, and so it is. This is the rear of the Memorial Hall building. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Memorial Hall

This is the front of the Memorial Hall. The Foundation Stone was laid by the Hon. W.J. George Esq., M.L.A., Minister for Works, on May 1st, 1922. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Museum

Here is the local Museum and in it, pictured, is the original Konnongorring school! It closed in Konnongorring in 1973 and moved here about 5 years later. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Train Station

The Goomalling train station has been carefully preserved. Goomalling is on the narrow-gauge Perth-Mullewa line which is used almost exclusively these days for grain haulage. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Sea Lion

The Sea Lion restaurant/coffee shop is located in the old train station. This is a view of the station from the "road" side. October 2011

 

Goomalling - Park Sculpture

In a small park along the main street is this sculpture of mechanical bits and pieces plus a wall of ceramic creations. October 2011
