NUNGARIN HERITAGE MACHINERY & ARMY MUSEUM

The Nungarin Heritage Machinery and Army Museum is housed in an original massive Army Vehicle Workshop building constructed in Nungarin in 1942-43 as part of Australia’s defence during WWII. The huge building was part of No.5 Base Ordinance Deport (5BOD) which was considered to be the largest storage facility for Army Ordinance in Western Australia at that time, built at the total cost of approximately Ten Million Pounds.

The former Army Vehicle workshop is one of the very few remaining large volume timber military buildings build during WWII for the Commonwealth Allied Works Council In WA. After the war Most of the camp facilities and buildings were sold and the Nungarin Shire purchased the workshop for use as a Shire Depot but now houses the Nungarin Heritage Machinery & Army Museum.

The museum also has an imposing display of Military Memorabilia Including an impressive 10th Light Horse Collection dedicated to local WWI hero Trooper Joseph William Spillman. Other items on display include the rare Dingo Scout Car and the General Grant Tank and other military vehicles. A large collection of Agricultural Development heritage memorabilia and machinery is also displayed.
