The place represents associations with the instigation of tennis in Dudinin, and with identities of the district.
Tom Gray stand: Open fronted corrugated iron shed with a skillion roof.
The football club was formed in 1926. Cricket was played at Wogolin in the early 1900s through to 1908 when it relocated to Gate 101 Reserve, and later to Dudinin. The history of tennis is that of a social fun and family activity. Tennis courts were evident throughout the district at private homes and in small community centres. The Dudinin courts were built by volunteer community labour. In 1958 the tennis club was relocated for the forthcoming season, to combine with the football club facilities. The tea shed was relocated to the football ground and dedicated to Tom Gray. Tom was an identity of the Dudinin area, who donated the medal for the "fairest and best" football player. In 1985 a new tennis pavilion was constructed. It was funded by the proceeds from the music shows performed by the local group. Everyone in the district is in everything to ensure the survival of the place. With the lose of the school in 1973, the community focused on the tennis pavilion. A new turf surface was built in 1994.

The site represents associations with the fence which was a significant construction.
Trap construction along the fence.
The purpose of the Rabbit Proof Fence was to inhibit the movement of rabbits from the Eastern staes into the developing wheat and sheep areas in Western Auatralia. The No. 1 rabbit proof fence was extending a distance of 1122 miles form Starvation Boat Harbour (east of Hopetown) to Wallal (between Port Hedland and Broome). By the time the fence was completed in c1905 rabbits were already in the west, so the Minister for Lands decided to construct another fence. No 2. rabbit proof fence is roughly parallel with No.1 fence. In 1906, No. 2 fence was completed, and No. 3 fence across to Bluff Point was almost completed. Settlement consolidated west of the fence, and land in the east was not selected for agriculture before 1909. The first settlement east of the fence did occur at Wogolin and Dudinin. Boundary riders maintained the rabbit proof fence, and were responsible for a set length of the fence. Yard traps were placed at intervals along the fence to trap the rabbits. The boundary riders would dispose of the rabbits. Other examples of the Yard traps are at Locations 109818 and 10833.

Constructed from 1914
The railway was pivotal to the development of the town of Dudinin, and the railway precinct is representative of that event.
Dudinin is located in a valley and was considered a good site for a dam to provide for the steam trains which were to run on the proposed railway line south east from Narrogin through Yilliminning. The railway subsequently passed through Dudinin in preference to Wogolin which was only 6 miles north along the Rabbit proof fence. By Christmas 1913, a Public Works 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 15 March 1915 the railway line through to Kulin was taken over by the Government and on 16 March it was officially opened and the first train rolled into Kulin. The water tanks were located at the McGinnis St "T" section. A very high tank was used to supply water to the steam train engines. The water from the high tank was gravity fed to a lower tank which supplied water for the local settlers. A large horse trough next to the smalll tank was for use by travellers. The Government Dam supplied the water for the tanks, and Bill Colan maintained the steam engine which pumped the water form the dam. The first Co-operative Bulk Handling bin was established in 1934. It was replaced with another bin in the 1960s

The site represents a way of life no longer practiced. It demonstrates associations with the beginnings of the railways, Dudinin town, and associations with Wogolin and the Farr family.
When the railway was planned to go through Dudinin and not Wogolin, where a town was already evident, the business people in Wogolin began relocating to Dudinin. Mrs Farr, who's home in Wogolin was referred to as the "Half way house", and her daughters, established a tea room in the station and while she made scones, the ladies of the district contributed cakes and sandwiches and the men bought tea and sugar. The proceeds from the sale of the refreshments to the travellers and workers were contributed to the World War One soldier's comfort fund. Tables were set up on the platform in front of the waiting room, and all the trains stopped at Duduinin as it was a train watering point. Locals would join the trvellers for morning tea. Mrs Farr ran the tearooms throughout the war years. At the end of the war, the Railways Department requested that Mrs Farr and daughters continue the service, which they did, as their own business for a short while before Mrs Fitt, the wife of James Fitt the track maintenance man, took it over. When the passenger trains stopped, the refreshment rooms/station buildings were removed from Dudinin Railway Siding.

The railway line from Narrogin to Wickepin via Yilliminning was opened in 1909, and the line through from Yilliminning to Kondinin via Kulin was proposed. In 1912, it was decided to send a delegation to the Premier to lobby for a preferred route for the Railway line which was being surveyed. On 15 March 1915 the railway line through to Kulin was taken over by the Government and on 16 March it was officially opened and the first train ran the line through to the railhead on the Yilliminning Kondinin line, at Kondinin. Gnarming being a siding north of the Kulin station. The settlers in the area came to meet the train when it came down the line, and it was quite a social event at the siding.

Constructed from 1893
The sites represent a significant event in the development of the region
Track through the natural terrain.
John Holland of Broomehill, in 1893, to get to goldrush country, planned a 320 mile trek straight through unexplored country. Four men, John Holland, John Carmody, and Rudolph and David Krakouer, with 6 months provisions, started on 14 April 1893, and arrived in Coolgardie on 18 June 1893, the day after Paddy Hannan discovered gold. The track provided a direct communication between the ships at Albany in the south west and the goldfields, through the Newdegate and Holt Rock area. The early settlers to Lake Biddy could only get to the area by using the Holland's Track from Lake Grace, and from Lake Biddy to Varley and Holt Rock in the north-east. Lake Biddy was later the rail depot for those areas bringing their wheat along the track for rail transport. Lake Biddy was the only town built on the Holland's Track. In 1988 a Bicentennial event was "Walking the "Hollands", commencing at Lake Biddy, the walk proceeded south to She oak Hill, and onto Silver Wattle Hill where a plaque was laid. In 1993 a celebration to commemorate the centenary of the track was organised by the Newdegate Primary School, and they re-enacted a walk of a segment of the track. The track passes through 12 farms in the Lake Biddy district. It was only 10 kms from the Lake Biddy Store, and in the 20s and 30s, the track was the shortest route to Newdegate and Lake Grace. It was never a road, just a meandering track, so when roads were built it wasn't used. Although it was a popular short cut during World War Two.

Solly ran a mail service from Hyden and it was Solly who delivered a telegram from Holt Rock to Mr Millington to advise him that his wife had given birth to a boy or girl child in Perth. (It was both ! twins !!) Douglas Broadley ran a different route, along Holland's Track, through to Lake Biddy Store. Thakera later took over from Broadley.

The place represents a way of life and continuity of the sport and the community.
Steel clad shed and tennis courts
When the Holt Rock and Lake Carmody settlements were in their early days, community meetings took place in the bough shed at the tennis courts. The tennis club was formed at the site in the early 1930s. The bough sheds disappeared a long time ago but the community still gathers at the tennis courts for tennis. The courts have been upgraded over the years. In close proximity to the tennis courts was the hessian, canvas and sapling dwelling of the Bank Inspector Frank Collet. In about 1932 or 1933, the Francis family lived there until their home was completed in 1937. (ref No.)

Represents a critical element of settlement in the region.
250,000 gallon tank and freestone catchment walls across the rock
Water was the life blood of the country and often the first thing a settler did was to excavate a dam or sink a well. As early as 1928, efforts were made to harvest water from the Holt Rock. Constructed in 1934 by the Government as part of a sustenance workers employment scheme. It was constructed at the same time as the Purnta Rock tank, but it was soon realised that the two tanks were too far apart, and another was required between the two tanks water supply for the town of Varley. When it was constructed it was a water supply provided for the local farmers. They had to cart the water to their properties. It was mostly used for domestic use, but sometimes had to be used for stock. The natural rock formation provided the basis for the water catchment with the additional construction of run-off walls to harness more water.

The site represents a way of life.
In 1940 the Progress Association was successful in achieving the installation of bulk grain facilities in Holt Rock. Tom Cox was the bin attendant and the bin received grain for the season of 1940/41. Cox was the attendant at the Lake Varley and Holt Rock bins which operated on alternative days. Later open "bulk head" bins were added to increase the handling capacity. The grain is trucked direct to Esperance Port, as no rail service is available.
