ANZAC DAY 2023

This ANZAC Day, Mt Helena Residents and Ratepayers Progress Association together with Lost Mundaring and Surroundings Local History Museum are proud to be relaunching the Mount Helena ANZAC Day Service.


We invite everyone from around our great Shire to be a part of this historic occasion and to commemorate our service man and women.


Date: 25 April 2023

Time: 11:30am

Events: March - Ceremony - Morning Tea - Historical Display at Mundaring Travelling Museum


The ANZAC Service will coincide with the grand reopening of the WW1 Lion Mill Roll of Honour (1916) which will have a new home at the Shire community facility of Elsie Austin Pavilion.


We would like thank Eastern Hills Senior High School for housing the Roll of Honour in their Gymnasium for the last four decades, when Mount Helena didn't have a community hall.

Thank you to the Shire of Mundaring and the Mundaring RSL Sub Branch for your support with this event!

What is a Whim?

The Whim was used for log haulage in the early days of the South-west timber industry including the Perth Hills.
 
The whim axle was manoeuvred midway over a felled log. With the aid of a swampers spoon, the chain was passed under the lof and hooked onto the axle. The whim beam, as a lever, was pulled down using horses and secured to the log, thus raising the axle and the log for easier haulage. A team of eight horses then hauled the raised log to the steam saw mill. The whim revolutionised the early timber industry and was used until the advent of motorised tractors.


The whim has been honoured and recognised by the Mount Helena Residents and Ratepayers Progress Association as a part of their logo and name of our biannual 'Whim' Festival.
