Burakin is a small town near Kalannie in the eastern Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

The townsite was gazetted in 1928.[2] The name is an Aboriginal word of unknown meaning, and was suggested by the Wongan Hills Road Board in 1927. The original spelling was to have been Borrikin.[3]

Railways

Burakin is the junction for the Amery to Kalannie railway line and the branch railway line to Bonnie Rock. The line was completed on 27 April 1931.[4] Despite aspirations for the railway in the 1930s.[5] services between Beacon and Bonnie Rock were under threat of suspension in 1953,[6][7] and closed in the same year.[8]

Earthquakes

In 2000 and 2001 Burakin was the epicentre of a series of earthquakes,[9][10][11] now known as the Burakin Swarm – a significant series of seismographic events that are considered important in understanding the South West Seismic Zone.[12][13][14]
