Midland Railway terminus now a service centre. Located 19 km east of Perth, Midland (originally known as Midland Junction) came into existence as a direct result of the establishment of a railway line from Perth to the Avon Valley settlements of Toodyay, Northam and York. In 1881 the railway from Perth reached the Swan Valley. The railway terminus inevitably became an important transportation centre as people and goods had to be transferred from the train to the drays and wagons which came from the east. In 1886 the Midland Railway Company built a railway line to take the goods further east. The point where the two railway lines met became known as Midland Junction, later to be reduced to Midland. It was here that the Government railway built its workshops and the Midland Railway Company established its head office. Inevitably a township grew up to service the railway workers and the people who passed through the junction. - Travel/Walkabout masthead integration...

There is a current school of thought which claims that what modern development has done to Windsor is disgraceful. Certainly the modern bridge, the wide road which mixes historic houses with service stations, the modern malls and the refusal to keep this old town in some kind of pristine condition is shameful.
