Dalwallinu, Western Australia
Dalwallinu (/ˈdaʊlwɒlɪnju/ or /dælˈwɒlənju/), colloquially called Dally, is a town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, located 248 km from Perth via the Great Northern Highway.[3] The name of the town comes from a now unknown Aboriginal word that means "place to wait a while" or possibly "good lands"[citation needed].[5][6] The first Europeans to arrive were Benedictine monks who came from New Norcia to graze their sheep on the pastoral leases that they had taken up.The region was surveyed in 1909 and then opened for selection in 1910 with crops being planted shortly afterward.[8] In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.
