NEW HERITAGE
Railway Square
Midland, Western Australia
Place Laboratory
Located a thirty-minute drive (around nineteen kilometres) north-east of Perth’s CBD is the heritage suburb of Midland. It was originally established as a site of industry and its history provides a cultural connection that binds it to Fremantle, south-west of Perth, through the development of the rail and heavy infrastructure of the twentieth century. Running contiguous to the Helena River and sitting just beyond historic Guildford, Midland is the final major stop along the north-eastern corridor of Perth. It is seen as the “gateway” to the Swan Valley, Perth’s closest wine region, and to the surrounding hub of the Wheatbelt.
