Statement of Significance
This site marks the initial stages of political and governmental organisation within the Marradong and Boddington districts.
Physical Description
Originally, the site was marked by a large sawn-off tree stump, where the men gathered around. Nowadays, the stump has been removed and the site remains bare.
History
In October 1891, at the east side of Pinjarra-Williams Road, the Marradong Roads Board decided to be officially developed. The men met around a stump of a tree, using it as a table top. Before this point of time, the Boddington and Marradong district were under the direction of the Williams Road Board.
