Did you know one of Australia's most remarkable World War II stories is hidden in the Wheatbelt?

Most people know about Gallipoli.

Many have visited the Australian War Memorial.

But very few realise that during World War II, the Wheatbelt quietly became an essential part of Australia's defence.

🚂 Military supplies moved through Merredin.
🔧 Thousands of Army vehicles were repaired in Nungarin.
🏥 Servicemen were cared for in the Merredin Military Hospital.

Today, these incredible stories are preserved by passionate volunteers and local communities, yet many Western Australians have never heard them.

Inside you'll discover:
✅ Hidden wartime stories
✅ Remarkable military heritage sites
✅ Why the Wheatbelt became critical during World War II
✅ Inspiration for your next meaningful regional escape

Collected a full size replica Tigermoth today. Donated by Lynne Mathews, Her husband Frank(Dec.) built it many years ago. The crew took just 3 hours to pull it apart and load everything for the trip home. It will need some work before we can put it on display.
