Episode description


Located just over an hour from Perth on the Great Eastern Highway, Northam is WA's largest inland town and is home to over 185 heritage listed buildings.  

Western Australia's Northam, had a significant involvement and contribution to the war effort during WWII. 

This can never be underrated with the rediscovery of a number of strategically important military establishments within the shire based in and around Burlong, Springhill and Spencers Brook. The Road Less Travelled went and investigated.

In a continuing series of revelations of these establishments is the identification of an RAAF inland aircraft fuel depot (IAFD) near Burlong Pool on the Clackline-Spencers Brook Road.
