Doodlakine
Fifteen kilometres to the East of Kellerberrin is the small township of Doodlakine. This was the first town to be settled in what was then the Kellerberrin Road Board District and Doodlakine was officially gazetted as a townsite on the 16th March 1891.
When the railway line was constructed five kilometres south of the townsite in 1894, the original townsite was rapidly deserted and a new township sprung –up next to the railway line. This is where the current township stands today and still boasts a tavern, a store and a bowling club.
