Midland
Located in the heart of the Swan Valley, Midland is a 30 minute drive east of Perth. The town exists due to the establishment of a railway line from Perth to the Avon Valley in 1886. By 1890, a tent village of railway workers became known as Midland Junction. The State Government established its railway workshops' site at Midland in 1901. Since the closure of the workshops the town has remained the commercial and retail centre for the surrounding areas. During it's period of growth industries such as the stock sale yards and the government abattoir were established and the town had five hotels, churches, a picture theatre, recreation grounds and a racecourse.
