The site demonstrates the development of the industry which sustains the community.
While the majority of the wheatbelt in Western Australia was serviced by rail, and the introduction of bulk handling in 1932, the Varley district was not provided with either of those facilities. In 1938 settlers were still having to deliver their bagged grain to the Newdegate Railway Station. The Progress Association lobbied for subsidised transport system, and that resulted in the introduction of the first major haulage contractors in the district. The establishment of a bulk bins in the district included one at Lake Camm. The first bins were completed for the 1940/41 harvest. The Lake Camm bin closed and sold in the 1960s.
