Boorabbin, Western Australia

Boorabbin was a location on the narrow gauge Eastern Goldfields Railway in Western Australia. It was halfway between Southern Cross and Coolgardie.

It was the location of a water tank used during the era of steam power on the railways.[1] Construction of the tank began in 1896; it had a capacity of five and a quarter million gallons.[2]

The townsite was gazetted in 1898. It was named by C.C. Hunt in 1865.[3]

It is in the area of the Boorabbin National Park, and Boorabbin Rocks.

The locality was identified as the nearest to a tragedy on the Great Eastern Highway when three truck drivers were killed by bushfire across the highway in 2007.[4]
