DID you know there was a World War II airstrip near Murchison running alongside the present-day golf course?
The map shows the old airstrip in relation to modern features as well as a view coming into the airstrip.
The line of trees alongside the old airstrip still exists today with the airstrip now farmland.
If you stop at the roadside on the road going to Violet Town from Murchison and look south, you can see them.
