Highbury, Western Australia

Highbury, originally Wolwolling, is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, located along the Great Southern Highway between Narrogin and Wagin.

[2] Like many towns, Highbury came into existence with the construction of the Great Southern Railway, when a siding was built here in 1894.

At a public meeting the names submitted to ballot were Highbury, Scottdale, and Linton.

[6][4] The town today is little more than a stop on the highway, with a store, tavern and hall utilised by the surrounding agricultural district in the southern Shire of Narrogin.

A group called Highbury District Community Council report to council on issues affecting the area, and in 2006 successfully proposed the construction of a war memorial next to the hall to honour those from the district who had fought and died overseas.
