150 Years of History

In the lead-up to the West Melton 150th celebrations, we’re visiting 150 years of history since our village on the plains was first settled. Local resident and historian Colin Watson is publishing this fantastic series of articles through the eras from sod houses in 1864 through to bustling community we know today.
