Helena Vale, Western Australia
- Helena Vale, Western Australia
Helena Vale was the original name for Midland Junction (now Midland) in Western Australia between 1885 and 1901.
It was also the earlier name of the Midland Junction Municipality between 1895 and 1901.
Despite the name changes of the locality and municipality - the name was kept by the Helena Vale Racecourse until its closure in the 1970's .
The racecourse was serviced by a short railway siding from Bellevue - it was opened on 1 July 1896 and closed on 13 February 1966. [ Quinlan, Howard & Newland, John R. (2000) "Australian Railway Routes 1854-2000". ISBN 0909650497 - WN 58 p.67]
The siding was utilised for the transport of troops during the First World War between Blackboy Hill and Fremantle.
The former racecourse land was converted to an industrial area- and is known variously as the Farrall Road industrial area or business centre - which has the Eastern Railway as its eastern boundary, Great Eastern Highway as its southern boundary and Morrison Road at its north side.
