Photo Comment

The West Australian Airways hangar constructed in 1929 with the adjoining passenger hostel. Forrest (pop.18) is about halfway across the vast Nullabor Plain and was an overnight stop for the airline's DH66 Hercules. The hangar is the oldest still standing in Australia. The hostel has been demolished.
