Lynn, the WW2 stuff is on Truscott Airfield which is on the northwest coast of WA. The airfield was put in during the war under secrecy as a staging facility and emergency landing field. It was established from the sea and i understand there was no land access at that time.
A lot of the materials, vehicle components etc were removed by some enterprising dealer/s after the war and then the place was left pretty much undisturbed until the '70s when private individuals managed to find a way in overland. The area/s of interest have since been declared a heritage site and none of the remaining artefacts are to be interfered with or removed. The airfield is operating now as a support base for offshore rigs and also used for SAR ops when required. David
