Episode Details

In Western Australias eastern wheatbelt, small towns are dwindling, with populations below 250 in places like Bencubbin and Shackleton. Once thriving on farming, these communities now face empty shops and lost services. Community halls, the heart of these towns, have been repurposed out of necessity, from grocery stores to local museums. Despite shrinking services, these halls remain cherished for the memories they hold. However, many face threats from damage and lack of funding, highlighting the need to preserve rural heritage before more slip away.
