06.01.2022 IN MEMORY: Today we flew our flag at half mast in honour and respect of a man who had a dream. His dream grew into a thriving landmark housing the history and heritage of a Wheatbelt town and once, the security of our state of WA. The Nungarin Heritage, Machinery and Army Museum was Bill Hewitts dream and its now up to all of us to ensure his legacy lives on for generations to come. Our sincere condolences go to Jo and the Hewitts, our museum family and the wider community....
