Wamboin History
As part of an effort by the WCA to document the history of the area, and as a result of our efforts to digitise and bring back to life old issues of The Whisper, we have begun to compile extracts from our Whisper records that relate to the history of the Wamboin and Bywong areas.
This is an ongoing exercise, and as we expand our efforts, we'll create a new section on this website dedicated to the history of our area. For the time being, however, historical records are being assembled under the The Whisper Feature Extracts section of this site.
