Ejanding, Western Australia
- 186 km (116 mi) NE of Perth
- 20 km (12 mi) NNE of Dowerin
Ejanding is a townsite in the central Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. It is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north-northeast of Dowerin. It was originally a siding on the Ejanding Northward railway, a line built between the town now known as Amery, and Kalannie, around 1927.[1][2] Amery was originally named Ejanding in 1910, but was changed to Amery in 1928. Ejanding was gazetted as a townsite in 1930.[3] Its name is Aboriginal in origin, derived from "Hejanding Well", a name first recorded by the surveyor/explorer Augustus Gregory in 1846.[4] Ejanding used to have a primary school. It operated from 1926 until 2000, closing due to low numbers. Currently Ejanding has a few houses, a wheatbin and railway siding, and is the location of the Dowerin Go Kart Club.
The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.[5]
