Station architecture
Local landmarks and early investigations conducted with the METRONET Noongar Reference Group identified important local Noongar themes, such as the limestone pinnacles and Melaleuca huegelii, which influenced the station's architecture.
Melaleucas are often referred to as ‘Teatree’ or ‘Paperbark’ trees. Melaleuca huegelii was extremely important to Noongar people due to its versatility – large pieces could provide coverage for shelters, smaller pieces were used to carry water and wrap food, and the leaves could be crushed for the medicinal properties of the aromatic oil, which could be brewed as a healing tea. It is also a well-known native species familiar to most Western Australians, and often planted in local parks or on verges.
