Bodallin is a town located around half way between Merredin and Southern Cross in Western Australia.
The town takes its name from the railway siding of this name, established between 1894 and 1897. When gazetted in 1918 the town was spelt Boddalin. This was amended in 1947 to Bodallin.[1]
It serves as a stop on the Prospector rural train service, and is a location of a crossing loop on the railway.
