Oof. Yeah, those were different times indeed. Probably several other museums that might take some of that stuff. Fascinating history though, thank you for sharing! All I really knew about Tatura until now was the butter
Oh yeah, Tatura and like Murchison had a bunch of POW camps that are still pretty accessible (though it’s not like what it was back then, it’s just a plot of land but there are markings of things). I found out a few years ago that a friend of mine, her grandpa was a POW and was in one of the Murchison camps, and so it’s probably likely that my grandpa was singing songs at the same time he was there. So it’s pretty interesting how that works out.
Whenever someone would go out to a pub with my grandpa, and you’d get given the Tatura butter, my grandpa would lean over and go “that’s Tatura butter”. I’ve now started to do it as just a joke. Man, he was something else I tell ya.
