History

Before the ambulance sub station was built in 1956,
ambulance drivers had to travel to Kondinin for the ambulance vehicle. On 27 April 1956, the sub
station was opened by CC Perkins MLA and the Vice President of the St John Ambulance of WA, T
Tetterington. The place cost £4000 which was almost raised entirely by £10 donations from the
Corrigin community.
