“Future generations, I am quite certain will think of us and bless us for our far seeing patriotism, and it will be said of us, as Isaiah said of old, ‘They made a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert”

Museums
The Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail includes a number of fascinating museums along its length which will give travellers an insight into Wheatbelt and Goldfields communities.
While museums often incorporate artefacts relating to water and the supply scheme – so vital to their wellbeing – they share their pioneering past and the broader history of the area in which they are housed.
As an example Cunderdin Museum in No 3 Pump Station incorporates farming while goldfields museums tell stories of mining.
