Thanks for sharing those with us Robert.

Absolutely fascinating aren't they.

Looks like there have been scrub fires through most of it.

Default Mind boggling

Thanks for the pics Robert.

What an awesome sight !

Most people are probably thinking 'what a waste' but I rather think along the lines of what a terrific memorial.

Most Military sites in the southern sector of WA have been looted out by scrap dealers twenty or more years ago and you have to dig in the dirt to find their leftovers nuts bolts and oxy cutting slag.

So good to see genuine relics of the war effort still in situ and largely intact. There is no better way to tell the story of the ground crews, maintenance staff and airmen stationed at Truscott during the war...

Cheers

Phill
