Moving the old Armadale School building, 1987.
In October 1987, a group of Armadale residents (with help from the City and kind assistance from businesses) saved the old primary school building by moving it to the Minnawarra Historic Precinct.
It was the first time an intact brick building had been successfully transported on a public road in Australia. The 1km journey took 10 hours.
Video created in October 2017 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of that event. Photographs and original footage by Les Jubbs and Bruce Crooks.
