Toodyay is a town located in the Avon Valley, 85 km north-east of Perth, Western Australia.
History
The Old Gaol
Old Court House in Fiennes Street, now used as Shire of Toodyay offices (2004)
Memorial to James Drummond, botanist, in Pelham Reserve, overlooking the Toodyay townsiteThe original village of Toodyay was one of the earliest inland towns in the State, established along the Avon River in 1836 after settlers including James Drummond, Captain Francis Whitfield and Alexander Anderson explored the area; Drummond established his homestead Hawthornden nearby. However, the location was subject to flooding which lead to its abandonment in the 1850s, and a new townsite was established on higher ground 2 km upstream. This was gazetted in 1860 as 'Newcastle' and the original settlement came to be referred to as 'Old Toodyay'. In May 1910 due to confusion with the New South Wales city of Newcastle, Newcastle became known as 'Toodyay', and the original townsite, which had by this time declined substantially, became 'West Toodyay'.[1]
The meaning of the name is uncertain, although it is Noongar Indigenous in origin - maps in 1836 referred to Duidgee, while some believe it was named for a local woman named Toodyeep who accompanied early explorers in the area.[2] Another source suggests it could mean place of plenty. The name Duidgee is preserved in the riverside recreation area, Duidgee Park.
In 1861, Western Australia's best known bushranger, Moondyne Joe, was imprisoned in Toodyay for stealing a horse, but escaped. After a series of crimes and jail terms, he was on the run again, returning to Toodyay in 1865 to steal supplies for an attempt to escape overland to South Australia. The annual Moondyne Festival is a light-hearted celebration of this darker side of Toodyay's history.
The Newcastle Gaol, in Clinton Street, was completed in 1864 and in use as a state gaol until 1909. It is now preserved as the Old Gaol Museum; an historic building and tourist attraction.
In 1870, a steam-driven flour mill, Connor's Mill, was built on Stirling Terrace by George Hasell. The mill was also used to generate electricity in the early part of the twentieth century. Saved from demolition in the 1970's, and restored to demonstrate the milling process and machinery, the mill now forms the museum section of the Toodyay Visitors Centre.[3]
The State Register of Heritage Buildings includes the Gaol, Connor's Mill, Toodyay Public Library (built 1874), Toodyay Post Office (designed by George Temple-Poole, built 1897) and the Toodyay Fire Station (designed by Ken Duncan, built 1938), as well as several other historic sites in Toodyay.[3] Some of the historic architecture of shops and residences along Stirling Terrace, the main street, form a distinctive frontage described as the Stirling Terrace Streetscape Group.[4]
[edit] Transport
Toodyay, being an historic township and an hour's distance from Perth, is a venue for daytrippers, tourists and motorcyclists. The circuit - Toodyay Road through Gidgegannup / Toodyay / Chittering Valley and Great Northern Highway - is a favourite with motorcyclists. On most weekends, Toodyay's main street is lined with cruisers and sportsbikes of many models, makes and vintages, their riders relaxing in the increasing number of pavement cafes that are springing up to accommodate the burgeoning tourist trade.
Toodyay also serves as a stop on the Avonlink and Prospector passenger trains from Perth to Northam and Kalgoorlie.

Goomalling
Attractive wheatbelt town
Located 132 km east of Perth, Goomalling is a pretty little wheatbelt town with the mandatory pub, rail head, small service centre for the surrounding region and bulk handling wheat silos. Sheep and wheat created the town and sheep and wheat will sustain it.
The area was first explored by Assistant Government Surveyor Austin in 1854 but there was no great need for a town. The monks at New Norcia, which was about 60 km northeast of the present townsite, often brought their sheep into the area. And George Slater, who had arrived from England with his parents in 1930, owned a huge selection which covered 100 000 acres from Goomalling to Kalguddering. He moved into the area in the 1850s. His house (the ruins are on the Dowerin road outside town) became a regular stopover point for miners who travelled through the area on their way to the goldfields on their way to Kalgoorlie and Southern Cross.
Goomalling didn't really come into existence until 1902 when it was declared a town and the railway from Northam arrived. It is claimed that the town got its name from the Koomal possum which inhabits the area but, like most explanations for town names, there is no really hard evidence for this assertion.
With a tiny population of 600 in the town, and servicing a further 600 in the surrounding wheat and sheep areas, Goomalling is the sort of place which is often driven through without stopping.

Well Maintained Property
216 CUSACK ROAD, NILLUP
Located just five kilometres north-east of the Nillup General Store on Brockman Highway, this 170 acre property has quality fixtures throughout.
All the improvements on this property are in top condition. Sheds, cattle yards and perimeter fencing have all been constructed to a high standard. The newly built 30m x 12m hay shed holds approximately 300-400 round bales and a 12m x 7m concrete floored workshop provides a good space to work on machinery. Sturdy custom cattle yards with a capacity of 50-60 head were erected only two years ago, complete with crusher and scales. Two bores on the property supply water to all seven paddocks and a raceway running up the west side of the block makes it easy to shift livestock. The farm has a good fertilizer history and most of the paddocks have been sown with a mix of Rye/Clover.
At the northern end of the block sits a 2 x 1 concrete floored transportable home with front and rear verandah's, the owners have added two enclosed sleep outs to make sure there is plenty of room for extra family or guests. In addition they have also added solar power and a reverse cycle air-conditioning unit, making it a low cost, small but modern dwelling.
The land is adjacent to WA State forest to the eastern side and the soil type is typically good gravel and sand with the original vegetation being a Marri/Jarrah mix. This property would make a great addition to an existing cattle operation or alternatively the perfect place to get away from the Hustle n' bustle and raise a few livestock in picturesque surroundings.
