@ JarrahTree: Both Landgate and Nationalmap maps have the locality as Westdale. We had two wikidata items for it as well, which I merged. Less clear is Kokeby, Western Australia and Mount Kokeby, Western Australia, in the same shire. Two ore one place? Two wikidata items for now. Calistemon ( talk) 08:04, 5 February 2023 (UTC) reply

New State Register of Heritage places

The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme is now on the State Register of Heritage Places, although I'm unsure if its the entire pipeline. The map on the inHerit entry confused me; it has just highlighted a square in Merredin. I'll leave it up to you to update the lists.

Djuringe Mooranoppin in Kellerberrin has also been added to the register recently, see [1] and [2]. Steelkamp ( talk) 08:52, 16 February 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks @ Steelkamp:, going throught the lists and updating them is on my to do list as the next item. Calistemon ( talk) 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC) reply
GWSS listing :is intriguing:

Location Details

Contains the main reservoirs: Mundaring Weir (Dam) and Mount Charlotte Reservoir; the main conduit of the pipeline (including all locking bar pipe, wood stave pipe and continuously welded pipe) which stretches 560km from Mundaring in the west to Kalgoorlie in the east; the remaining six of the eight original pump stations (Nos 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8) including remaining equipment; the remaining four associated holding tanks (located at Steam Pump Stations Nos, 2, 4, 7 and 8); and the four regulating tanks located at Bakers Hill, West Northam; Bullabulling and Toorak Hill

That is a lot of stuff in the location JarrahTree 11:05, 16 February 2023 (UTC) reply

I guess they had to list it under a location and the place of origin was probably the best option. The child places are then registered under their respective location, No. 6 Steam Pumping Station (fmr), Ghooli under Yilgarn, No 3 Pumping Station under Cunderdin, and so on.

@ Steelkamp and JarrahTree: Interesting that the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme is listed under the Shire of Mundaring on the entry but also appears on the Kellerberrin State heritage list as well as on the Yilgarn one. Without having checking all of the ones it runs through right now I suspect it is listed under all of them, which would make perfect sense. Calistemon ( talk) 12:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC) reply

Thornlie line tunnel images

Hey Calistemon, I have taken some photos of the Beckenham tunnel for the Thornlie line, which I have added to the Thornlie line article. These photos are taken from the Dulwich Street level crossing and the Albany Highway bridge. Problem is I just use my phone camera, which is not good for zoomed in photos. I was wondering if you would be able to take better photos than me? That would be really useful for the Thornlie line article which I am working on. Steelkamp ( talk) 05:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC) reply

@ Steelkamp: It's a little out of the way from my usual "photographic range" around Rockingham, Kwinana and Cockburn. In the next few weeks I probably won't be able to go up there because of work and family commitments. At some point, after that, I would probably be able to just catch the train, take my bike and go on a photo trip. So, sadly, not right now but maybe in a few weeks time. Calistemon ( talk) 05:22, 12 September 2023 (UTC) reply
Thanks for that. This isn't urgent. A few weeks won't hurt. I just want to get the Dulwich Street level crossing one done before the Armadale line shutdown on 20 November, as that area is going to be elevated. If you can't get that photo by then, please let me know. Thanks, Steelkamp ( talk) 05:59, 12 September 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Steelkamp: Will try but just send me a reminder in 4 weeks time. I got family visiting from Europe so I'm going to be tied down a bit until then. Calistemon ( talk) 06:01, 12 September 2023 (UTC) reply
Sure. Steelkamp ( talk) 06:09, 12 September 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Steelkamp: Do you still require the images? If yes, I may have an opportunity to go there today. Calistemon ( talk) 23:44, 22 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Yes please, I do. Steelkamp ( talk) 23:50, 22 October 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Steelkamp: I have placed the images I have taken today in Commons:Category:October 2023 in rail transport in Western Australia but I'm a little skeptical as to whether they are good enough to use. There was a fair bit of heat coming off the track, making them a bit blurred. Have a look and see what you think. Calistemon ( talk) 10:37, 23 October 2023 (UTC) reply
I've added File:Armadale Line viewed from pedestrian crossing near Beckenham Station, Western Australia, October 2023 08.jpg to the Thornlie line article. Its better than the previous photo and the heat distortion isn't bad at the size used in the article. The tunnel is now easily visible. Thanks for the photos! Steelkamp ( talk) 02:49, 24 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Sincere apologies

I was corrected in my misunderstanding of the development of government lines in the bunbury region - please see my notes on an emailed pdf... it should explain most of the oddities

Picton to Boyanup - was an isolated line between 1887-1891
Perth to Bunbury - was connected in 1893
Boyanup to Busselton - was connected in 1894 during the Forrest era public works construction
Boyanup was 1894-1920s signposted as 'Boyanup Junction'
Boyanup Junction was the final point of the Flinders Bay line, technically from the 1920s to the 1950s...

I was able to access 1900 era maps of the era, might add to commons to use... apologies that I had misled you - I got quite a few things wrong!!! JarrahTree 11:49, 19 September 2023 (UTC) reply

No worries, hope you are trying to update the relevant articles, where required. Calistemon ( talk) 11:53, 19 September 2023 (UTC) reply
I hope to correct my mistakes. I am also hoping to ascertain which of the annual report items might be useful or not. However, I am always slow on the uptake. JarrahTree 11:56, 19 September 2023 (UTC) reply
