Mundijong Railway Station
The railway has played a vital role in the history and development of Mundijong for well over a century.
The station first opened in 1893 as Jarrahdale Junction, marking the arrival of the South Western Railway. It quickly became an important transport hub thanks to its connection with the Rockingham–Jarrahdale timber railway, which carried valuable jarrah timber from the surrounding forests.
As timber, livestock, dairy products and other local produce moved through the junction, the township flourished around the railway. In 1902, following the renaming of the town, the station became Mundijong Junction, before eventually being shortened to simply Mundijong.
One of the station’s most distinctive features was its rare diamond railway crossing, where two separate railway lines crossed each other. This unique piece of railway engineering made Mundijong one of Western Australia’s most significant country railway junctions during the early 1900s.
Although the bustling timber trains and freight traffic have long since disappeared, the original weatherboard station building still survives today. In 1999, it was carefully relocated to its current position on Paterson Street to preserve an important part of the town’s heritage. Many original railway features remain nearby, providing a glimpse into Mundijong’s rich railway history.
Today, passenger services still call at Mundijong on the Perth–Bunbury line, continuing a railway tradition that has connected the town for more than 130 years.
Take a few moments to explore the historic station and imagine the days when steam locomotives, timber wagons and country passenger trains made this one of Western Australia’s busiest rural railway junctions.
