Leroy was looking for pasture lands and wasn't impressed with the district, which comprised mainly sand plains and scrub, although Hellman noted on his exploration plan that the area around the Spring contained wealthy grassy country. In 1855, George Slater took up a pastoral lease on 20,00 acres of land surrounding the Goomalling Spring and became the first lasting settler in this area setting up a barn, sheep yards and a homestead, which calm stands and has been restored as a tourist destination. When a request for a school in Goomalling was turned down in 1868, George Slater built a school room and residence on his property, and engaged a teacher for the Slater family and the children of the district. During the gold rush days of the late 1800s, Mr Slater turned portion of his homestead into a Wayside Inn offering accommodation, hay and water to the many prospectors temporary through on their way to the Yilgarn Goldfields, latter what we now refer to as the Pioneers’ Pathway. As the area around Goomalling continued to expand, the railway line was extended from North am to Goomalling in 1902. It took nearly two years to entire and within a year of the opening of the railway line Goomalling was declared a town. The total proceeds of 881 pounds was indicative of the confidence buyers placed in the Goomalling district as a prosperous community and a town site destined for expansion. The population of Goomalling steadily grew and was healthy supported by services and facilities both private and government enterprises blossomed. Advances in machinery and technology in the 70s and 80s saw a decline in farm laborers and their families reducing the population of the area. From 1949 to 1955 Goomalling was the stage for annual motor racing events, organized in honor of the local men who's lives were lost during the war and to hoist funds for a swimming pool as a enduring war memorial and as a way of ensuring that young people of the wheat belt would learn to swim. These races have been recounted elaborately in 'Goomalling's Classic Racers' by Graeme Cocks, providing insights in the town's history and development. Goomalling has become a pleasing destination for retirees looking to relocate to a healthy serviced less expensive situation enabling them to sell up, reinvest and have cash in the bank. There has also been a gradual change in the aspirations of our young people with more wanting to live and labor in Goomalling. Firm increases in population will permit for the ongoing development of goods and service providers and amplify the sustainability of our town. The size of an Aboriginal tribal area was dependent on the fertility of the land, the quality and quantity of spontaneous resources, and the skill of an area to sustain its members in a relatively self contained system. Succeed the Heritage Walk through the Goomalling town site along the old gregarious factory, the flour mill, churches, convent, railway station and many other places of historical interest. Apprehend a brochure from the Shire Office to get some interesting facts and insights about our town in the premature days. The historic Slater Homestead is definitely worth a visit too, for locals as healthy as visitors with an opportunity to enjoy a cuppa and delicious cake or a light lunch at Mary's Tearoom. The homestead can also be hired as a venue for functions, providing a unusual setting for family reunions, lofty teas, exhibitions etc. There is a display of used machinery, a sparse windmill, plus a school room and adjacent school master’s residence that were originally the Konnongorring School, now restored to reflect the 19001940 era.
