Visit the Australian Inland Mission Hospital in Lake Grace to see the only remaining Inland Mission hospital still standing in Western Australia. This carefully restored historic building was built in the early 1900s and has been converted into a museum which is now listed with the National Trust.
Take the opportunity to wander through the old wards of this 1920s building and get an appreciation for the conditions patients and staff would have endured.
Whilst at the old hospital building, you will be able to learn all about John Flynn, who established the inland hospitals in Australia. This remarkable man is well known for helping to improve health care for those living in remote locations.
The Australian Inland Mission Hospital Museum is located in the picturesque town of Lake Grace, four and a half hours drive southeast of Perth. Lake Grace offers spectacular bushland walks, beautiful wildflowers and the fascinating natural salt lakes which reflect hues of pink, mauve and green.
