Statement of Significance

The town represents a way of life and associations with the early settlers and subsequent generations.

History

The railway line passed through Dudinin in preference to Wogolin, only 6 miles north along the Rabbit proof fence. By Christmas 1913, a Public Worths Department site camp was established at Dudinin and the railway line proceeded northwards
to Jitarning. Mrs Pike's bush boarding house moved along the track as the gangers moved camp, and Tom Hogg's boarding house did the same. On the 15 March 1915 the railway line through to Kulin was taken over by the Government and on the 16 March it was officially opened and the first train rolled into Kulin. Businesses in the town of Wogolin, which had developed to have a store, school, hall, and other amenities, relocated the buildings and functions to the newly established
settlement at the Dudinin Siding. During World War Two, several families from the city came to live in Dudinin of the duration of the war, due to the perceived danger from Japanese bombing the city.
