Clackine is a small town found along the Great Eastern Highway on route to Northam.



The history behind this town dates back to 1880's. Although it was a small settlement, it was noted as the major railway junction between Toodjay and Northam.



With a population of about 300 people, Clackine is an adventure which many just drive by. Sadly, it reminds me of the 'Cars Movie' where most travel pass without stopping to see what this little place has to offer.



On route to Northam, I made it a point to stop by and learn a little about this place. To greet me was a railway carriage and a tractor, a token of the history behind this little place.



In the corner was a postage/convenience store which marked about the only retail outlet in the immediate area. Of course, I saw a road that sort of disappeared into a world which screamed "explore me", which I did.



While the road was lined with homes, it looked as if each house was brilliantly crafted with an invitation saying: "Please stop and look at me". Of course, I felt a little guilty taking a picture of a wonderland which I knew I should keep secret, but was just bursting to show the world.



Who would think that a little place just tucked to the side of the road would have so much to explore and see? And to think that more than 80% of us drive past each day! I wonder what would happen if just some of stopped for a moment, walked in the store, bought a drink and enjoyed a journey down a road that should really say "wonderland"?
