Overview

Steeped in History...former part of POW Camp 13

Positioned on approximately 101 acres in the historic surrounds of Murchison, this extraordinary property offers not only a peaceful rural lifestyle, but a rare opportunity to own a tangible piece of Australian wartime history. Forming part of the original Camp 13 site, the land is steeped in World War II significance.
