Geography

The Proston railway line enters the locality from the east (Hivesville), passes through Kinleymore railway station ( 26°11′06″S151°39′18″E / 26.1851°S 151.6551°E / -26.1851; 151.6551 (Kinleymore railway station) ) in the centre of the locality, and then exits to the west (Proston).^[3] The line no longer operates and the station is abandoned.^[4]

History

The locality was named after three of the original settlers in the area by combining parts of their surnames (Kinnear, Leys, Morey), and also used this as the railway station name from 2 March 1923.
