Carrabin is a small town located about 43 kilometres (27 mi) east-north-east of Merredin, on the railway line between Merredin and Southern Cross in Western Australia.[1]
The town was gazetted in 1912, and took its name from the already existing railway siding located adjacent to the townsite. It is an Aboriginal name of unknown meaning.[2]
In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.[3]
It also is the site of an agricultural research station [4][5]
The Carrabin Roadhouse is a motel-petrol station and its location is exactly half way between Perth and Kalgoorlie.[citation needed]
Rail services
The Prospector service, which runs each way between East Perth and Kalgoorlie once or twice each day, stops at Carrabin.[6]
