The nearby Mooliabeenie[a] station lies on the Millendon Junction (near Midland) to Dongara section of the railway line now managed by Arc Infrastructure.[3][4] It was originally built in 1894 as part of the Midland Railway.[2]
Also nearby is a disused 1,500 m (4,900 ft) long airstrip which was used by the United States Army Air Corps during World War II and associated with the Caversham Airfield at Middle Swan.[5] Like the Caversham Airfield, the Mooliabeenee Airfield was later used as a motor racing track.[6][7][8] Local car clubs regularly use the site for motorkhana events.
