06.01.2022 Caravans and campervans have limited escape options in the event of a fire. You have just a few seconds to get out of a burning caravan, as they are constructed... of lightweight and potentially highly combustible fittings. A working smoke alarm can mean the difference between life and death. Make sure your caravan or motor home has a working smoke alarm to ensure your holiday memories are good ones. If there is a fire, act fast. Get out, stay out, and call Triple Zero (000).

01.01.2022 The Civil Construction Corps camp at Tocumwal. Approximately 2,700 men of the Civil Construction Corps were involved in the construction of the Tocumwal Air Dep...ot between February and October 1942. This army of civilian workers quadrupled the population of Tocumwal and needed somewhere to live, eat and relax. Where did they house so many men? A dedicated camp was established on the north-west of what is now the corner of McCullochs Road and Thorburns Road. The attached aerial images taken in August and September 1942 shows the size and scale of the camp. The other images are from the a report prepared in 1943 covering the activities undertaken by the Allied Works Council and Civil Construction Corps between 1942 and 1943 and show typical scenes of camp life.
