History

Surveyor N.M Brazier recorded Morlining Rock as Norlining and then Morling during his major survey of the area in 1892 . The compromise name Morlining Rocks was adopted in 1978.

The Morlining Well was built in the 1890s and served the Kellandi Siding on the Kalgoorlie line . The line and siding are now non existent.
