Laurier Siding

Laurier Siding Site, 21st of March 2006

Laurier Siding is located on the former section of railway which ran from Gnowangerup to Ongerup, this being the second half of the Tambellup to Ongerup Branch Line.
The siding is located between Borden and Toompup Sidings and is actually a hard one to find, if you don't check out google maps and follow the old rail formation through
the paddocks. This section of line closed in the 1950's, however the Out-of-Shed at Laurier Siding, remained in place and standing for 50 years or more, after the closure of
the line. I visited the site for the first time in April of 2012 and sadly found the Out-of-Shed had finally fallen apart and lay on the ground as it fell.
