Moorine Rock Moorine Rock is a small town situated on the Great Eastern Highway approx. 350 kms east of Perth. When the railway line to Southern Cross opened in 1895, a station and siding were built here. The town would have also served as a coach stop for what would then have been arduous road travel. The town was first called Parkers Road after Mr Parker's 1888 gold find. This name proved to be too similar to another so the current name was adopted in 1926 |

Moorine Rock - Petrol Pump Last Fill says the sign on this long disused petrol pump. Next to the General Store is a collection of old car bodies and bits of farm machinery and this pump. It sort of serves as a small museum rather than a junk yard although that could be more by accident rather than design. March 2015. Photos Ref: MRCK009 |
