Statement of Significance
Farmer's Crossing was a significant siding for the people of Marradong as it was a location used for the delivery of goods and services for the district.
Physical Description
After a storm blew away the corrugated iron goods shed, making the siding, only building materials remain on the site.
History
Farmer's Crossing was a railwy station constructed on the Farmer's property. The plan for the railway to be located on the Farmer's land was, initially, much to their dismay. The Western Australian Railway offered the railway siding was established as a means of compensation to the family.
The name "Farmer's Crossing" wasa much objected to and the Brockman Family won their case to call the siding "Brockman" instead. However, this did not last, as Mr E Johnson contested on behalf of the Farmer family. Three years later, in 1923, Farmer's Crossing resumed back to its original name.
