The Phillips wanted to adopt Albert, but his mother would not approve, and Facey eventually moved on.

East Dorakin School opened in 1910 on a half time basis with West Dorakin School. Schools were usually established due to lobbying from the members of the relevant community when they recognised a need for a school in their district. Education for their children was an important priority to the settlers. When the Government did establish schools, a minimum number of 8 students was required to retain the services of a teacher and keep the school operating. In 1916 the Governor Sir Harry Barron visited the District and the teacher Mr JH Hoskings entertained 60 children and the Governor at his place. Scrivener's Soak ?

When the Government did establish schools, a minimum number of 8 students was required to retain the services of a teacher and keep the school operating. Consequently, some small schools opened and closed a number of times. After World war two, school bus services began operating, and children from outlying areas were transported to the centrally located schools, and the small schools closed.

Constructed from 1880
The site is significant as representative of a way of life no longer practiced, and the associations with the pioneers of the district.
Ruins of original mud brick dwelling. The roof has gone but the walls remain.
Trott held the pastoral lease over this area, during which time the dwelling was built. It seems that with the disappearance of poultry from the property, baits were set for the foxes, however eight aboriginal people died of poisoning and were subsequently laid to rest on an adjacent property. This property was the first to be taken up as an agricultural settlement in the Gillimanning area and the original mud brick house was the first in the district. Two generations of the Clifford family farmed the property, and sold out during the Second World War. The Cliffords had constructed another house on the property which was used as the school for a while when the Gillimanning Hall blew down. That place which was also the Gillimanning phone exchange, was demolished at the end of the 1930s.

Constructed from 1909
The site represents a way of life no longer practised. It demonstrates an association with the early settlers.
Gillimanning was one of the earliest communities, preceding Wickepin by about 10 years. The hall was the meeting place of the region. Dances, horse races, sports, picnics, and school all took place in the hall. School in the hall operated from 1909 through to 1940. At the time that Gillimanning was a thriving settlement, it seemed a logical choice for the railway to pass through from Cuballing to Wickepin. However it seems the New Jerusalem settlement had some influence in the decision for the railway to go through Wickepin. Gillimanning settlement did not develop any further after the railway line by passed the district. In 1916 the Vice Regal tour by the Governor Sir Harry Barron, attended a banquet at the hall, catered by the Ladies of the district, and addressed by the Wickepin Roads Board Chairman Mr Hosken. In the 1960s the hall was demolished and the funds from the sale financed a memorial to the pioneers of the district. The strong pioneer spirit of the Gillimanning and Districts Railway League (1905) and Farmers and Settlers Association are commemorated by two gum trees which were planted during the celebrations of the "back to Wickepin" memorial in 1979. The adjacent Woraking Hill with the SEC mast on it is the site of a very popular picnic area in the early days.
