What a fascinating place! We must remember and respect the prisoners and learn what life was like in a camp. The scale model looks helpful. I would love to tour this camp!

True it is a shame that the signs are so worn – I hope they replace them soon. The whole area has such an interesting history

This looks like a beautiful and moving hike. I’m amazed that you were able to see any of the original structures still preserved. Although it’s too bad so many of the signs have worn away as it’s clearly so full of history. I’ll definitely be digging into the Marrinup history more.

We really were amazed at how the forest had reclaimed the land

What an interesting insight into a little-known part of our history here in W.A. and isn’t it amazing how nature starts reclaiming the land once people move out
