Greetings fellow Foxies,
This is an addition to the Toolibin Lake and scenic tour blog. 100 years ago the wheatbelt population was about ten times more than now, with railway sidings often having a school, a hall, and a general store/post office. Toolibin inhabitants were mostly railway workers, but with the great depression, and increased mechanisation all that remains is a nice Morris Minor, and the ever present pepper tree and bamboo clump marking the school site.
Upslope (b) is grey sandy gravel containing kwongan prickly heath with interesting flowers in spring.

However the prize spot is a funky one room bed sitter (c) a bit further down on Line Road that has an interesting story. Apparently a buyer noticed an ad for the “house” and land in the West Australian for what appeared to be a ridiculous price and bought it sight unseen. Well, in life what appears to be too good to be true usually is, but locals noticed that the shack was occupied at times, perhaps by the owner doing renovations?
Having said that, it may be available for rent by those who desire a love nest with a difference
