09.01.2022 Have you ever heard of, been to or lived in Nungarin? Let us take you there... Your State Library is featuring WA regional towns on its Facebook Page. It's an o...pportunity to share stories and connect with old friends. Share your memories in the comment section of this post. Recently featured towns include Tom Price, Paraburdoo, Busselton, Mandurah, Port Hedland and Broome. Nungarin is located 278 kilometres from Perth, in the north east of the Wheatbelt. The meaning of the name is uncertain but one plausible explanation is that it derived from 'nungoo', meaning 'to see'. Nungarin's traditional owners are the Njaki Njaki Nyoonga people. Their relationship with the area spans over thousands of years. In October 1910, 1,486 acres were set aside as a townsite reserve along the Dowerin to Merredin railway. Nungarin was gazetted in 1912. The local hall was built in 1919 and became a hub of social activity. In 1921 the Nungarin Hall Committee decided to replace the Hall's old fashioned oil lamps, with modern lighting. According to the Merredin Mercury at the time, to meet the cost, a social and dance was held. The hall was prettily decorated by members of the Committee. There was a jumble sale and a raffle. Trade at the ice-cream stall was "more than brisk and the returns substantial." The Ladies of the Nungarin Red Cross, "always willing helpers", prepared and served an excellent supper at their own expense, save the meat kindly supplied by Thick Bros. There was a long program of dances. Mr W.Allen in "undisputed possession of the piano" and Mr W. Waterhouse "ably discharged the duties of MC". Dancing was kept up until the "witching hour," when the assemblage disappeared, well pleased with the night's doings. The takings of 41 sufficed to allow "the new light to diffuse its brilliancy unshaded by debt". In 1922 a large fire destroyed Messrs Thomas and Thick's store along with the post office and the manager's residence of the Nungarin Farmers Cooperative Society. In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding. During World War II Nungarin was an important army ordnance camp. Selected as it was outside the range of Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and was readily accessible by the rail network. In the post-war era it was the site of large disposal sales. Today Nungarin has a population of around 140 people, serving the surrounding area producing wheat and other cereal crops.
