Morawa, Western Australia
Morawa is a town in the Mid West region of Western Australia. It is located within the Shire of Morawa, approximately 370 kilometres (230 mi) north of the state capital Perth, on the railway line between Wongan Hills and Mullewa. History The name ''Morawa'' is an Indigenous Australian name; it probably derives from the ''Morowar'', the local dialect's word for the dalgite. The name was first used on maps of the area in 1910, in reference to a rock hole. When the railway was being planned in 1913, it was decided to locate a siding at the location, and the name ''Morawa'' was chosen for it. The Lands Department then decided to establish a townsite there, and Morawa was gazetted in September 1913. In 1921 the Railways Department decided that ''Morawa'' was too similar to ''Mullewa'' and requested a name change. In response, the town's name was changed to ''Merkanooka'' in January 1922. However the Railway Department, which had pressed for the name change in the first plac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
