Boya, WA Australia
| Address | Perth
Western Australia, Australia |
Boya is located in the Shire of Mundaring, within the Perth hills, 25 minutes drive east of the city centre.
The old government quarries were originally established here to supply granite for CY O Connor’s Fremantle Harbour Scheme , and a settlement then grew up a round the site which continued operating until 1948.
The Railway Reserve Heritage Trail passes through Boya. This Trail retraces 70 kilometres of the old Eastern Railway, which was constructed from Fremantle to York in the 1880's. Walking along the trail, you will discover the individual history and character of the small settlements that sprang up alongside the railway line.
The trail has become one of the major recreational facilities in the Mundaring shire and it is suitable for walking, cycling and horse riding; it features the attractive scenery and flora and fauna of the Darling Range
Boya is mainly a quiet residential area, but you can enjoy bushwalking in the nearby Darling Range National Park.
