Join us on Saturday the 16 March at 3pm for a guided tour of the Mundaring District Museum. Afternoon Tea will be provided for a gold coin donation. Feel free to stay for a General Meeting which will be held after the tour at 4pm. One of the main items on the agenda for this meeting, will be the ratifying of the Mundaring and Hills Historical Society’s “Model Rules” (Constitution).
Hope to see you all there!
That Mundaring was home to the “Buffalo Handle” factory. It was established during WWI when there was a shortage of hickory axe handles imported from the United States. Ernest Wilson opened the factory in Wooroloo in 1914. They made all sorts of tool handles and materials for wagon wheels. The factory closed down in the 1940’s.
