Blackboy Hill was named after the Australian native "black boy" plants, Xanthorrhoea preissii, which dominated the site which is now absorbed into Greenmount, Western Australia. Originally a military camp, the facilities and adjacent structures were on the hill that is now used by St Anthony's Primary School and Church, and Greenmount Primary School. The remaining land (which has been left as a memorial to the troops who used the training camp) is known on official documents and maps as the Blackboy Hill Commemorative Site, but local signage tends to refer to the location simply as Blackboy Hill.

Darling Range Hotel was a hotel in Bellevue, Western Australia, on the end of the slope on the Great Eastern Highway at the 'bottom of' Greenmount Hill and just north of the former Bellevue railway station, and over the road from the Helena Vale Racecourse. The locality known earlier as 'Helena Vale' and 'East Midland', was near the border of the council in the hills above 'Greenmount Road Board' - (now Shire of Mundaring), and the 'Midland Junction Council' (now City of Swan). In the First World War, it was the nearest hotel to the Blackboy Hill army campIt was started as the East Midland Hotel, on the earlier name for the highway - the York Road. Despite the name the local councils called it 'The Bellevue Hotel'.The hotel was licensed in 1905, and its outward appearance changed over the years with change of owners and managers and circumstances.The owners, Licensees or Managers to the end of the First World War included:- Thomas Wilkins 1903-1913 W.K. Lamzed 1914-1916 H. Finlayson 1916-1920The longest connection on record was that of J.K. Robinson and S. Boyd 1950 -1960It was considered an excellent location and opportunity for owners and trainers with horses at the Helena Vale Racecourse.It was the base of a lengthy association with billiards and darts for the area.More historic hotels in the Midland - Bellevue area have been lost due to fire, loss of licence and neglect. The Darling Range Hotel building is one of the few remaining buildings in the area with well documented connections to the troops leaving Blackboy Hill Training Camp, and leaving Helena Vale Racecourse by railway to serve in the First World War. The building remained, with a different configuration from the first world war era, and was in potential threat of immanent demolishing to make way for a service station development, in an area that already has a significant concentration of service stations.

Koongamia is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located in the City of Swan local government area. The suburb was developed as a State Housing commission suburb, and had a brief time (1960-1962) as a location on the Perth metropolitan railway system, utilising a small portion uphill from Bellevue railway station on the track of the former Mundaring Loop railway line which was suspended since 1954 and had not been officially closed.

Swan View railway station, Perth was a railway station of significance on the Eastern Railway in Western Australia. In all working timetables during the operation of this line, the station was the point of control for the Swan View Tunnel. The Bellevue to Chidlow railway line involved the encounter with the Darling Scarp requiring extra power for the up line, and considerable extra caution for the up and down lines. The station master's house was adjacent to the station.Due to the volume of traffic passing through, various accidents were regular either at the station or in the vicinity, also being near the tunnel, some tunnel related accidents were reported with the station as context.The station was closed in 1966 at the time of the Avon Valley rail route being opened, and the old Eastern Railway route became superfluous to Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) needs. For almost 50 years the major curve between this railway station and the Swan View Tunnel was the main location for photographs for tourism brochures and promotional picture of new rolling stock and locomotives, as well as the main named train of the WAGR – The Westland. Since the closure and removal of the railway line, and the development of the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail the Swan View station site is one of the very few on the trail to have the railway platform retained (for instance – Mundaring and Darlington).

Midvale is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, which is split between the City of Swan and the Shire of Mundaring. Its postcode is 6056. Developed in the early 1950s, the area was named as a composite of Midland and the former Helena Vale Racecourse. The former racecourse site is now part of Midvale. Its southern boundary is the Great Eastern Highway, and eastern the Eastern Railway. A substantial amount of the housing in the suburb is known as State Housing; a significant amount of this housing was redeveloped by the Department of Housing under the "Eastern Horizons New Living Project".

Bellevue railway station (also known as Bellevue Junction) was a junction station on the Eastern Railway in the Perth suburb of Bellevue.

York Road (currently known in parts as the Old York Road) was the main road connecting Guildford and York, in Western Australia, during the 19th and 20th centuries. Its origins in a talk in 1929 claim an earlier name King Dick Road, and the first settlers usage of the route being on 6 September 1831.It became, in the 20th century, portions of the Great Eastern Highway, and the portion of the road traversing the Darling Scarp at Greenmount was named the Old York Road. The re-aligned Great Eastern Highway removed some of the problems of the steep grades along the old alignment. The road name was also a truncation of the usage of the name Old York-Perth Road. The York Road had convict era sites along its traverse. In the metropolitan area, Chippers Leap, Bilgoman Well, Mahogany Inn (still operating), and other sites have connections with that era, and the remaining original section on Greenmount Hill is still named Old York Road.

Nyaania Creek (31°55′S 116°03′E) is a creek in Western Australia. It is a seasonal tributary that flows into the Helena River with a catchment that moves through a number of hills suburbs just east of the Darling Scarp. Its source is in Mahogany Creek, and it flows through Glen Forrest, Darlington, and Boya before meeting the Helena River at Helena Valley. It was originally known as the Smiths Mill Brook on maps between 1902 and 1920. In the 1920s it became known as Nyaania Brook, and in 1945 it officially took the current name. Its importance stems from the fact that it flows through private land for most of its length, linked to issues that affect watercourses in the Darling Scarp region: usages of herbicides and other contaminants that can become waterborne excess nutrients from fertilisers used in domestic gardens inappropriate exotic weeds that flourish in difficult to access locations.It has significant areas of reserves either adjacent, or within 100 metres (330 ft) either side of its main creek bed. It runs in a number of places along what was rail reserve of the Eastern Railway – which is now the southern part of the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail.
