Beela is a locality immediately east of Brunswick Junction in the South West region of Western Australia. The name Beela means "there in that place is where the river water is running into a pool" in the local Noongar language.[3]
Aside from agricultural land, Beela also contains a Water Corporation dam originally built in 1938.[4] It supplied Brunswick with drinking water until 2004, when it was decommissioned due to concerns over quality and supply security.[5]
Beela is a stop on the Brunswick Junction to Collie railway line.[6][7]
