Nungarin Heritage Museum

WELCOME The Nungarin Heritage, Machinery & Army Museum is housed in a massive Army Vehicle Workshop building, which was built in 1942. It was built as part of Australia's defence during WWII, deemed far enough inland if the Japanese ever attacked. Part of No. 5 Base Ordnance Depot (5BOD), the whole workshop was built at a cost of approximately 10 million pounds. It was considered at the time to be the largest storage facility for Army Ordnance in WA. As well as the Army Vehicle Workshop, 5BOD incorporated tank workshops, five huge storehouses, a powerhouse, post office, administration blocks and medical facilities.
