Military collection

The City of Stirling's History Collection includes photographs, objects and documents with links to stories of Australian involvement in past conflicts, with emphasis on support provided locally to the war efforts, including rationing and maintenance of air raid precautions.

The Mount Flora Regional Museum site in Watermans Bay was utilised as a look-out during World War II, with Armed Forces living nearby in Hale Street and nearby Light Horse trails used for coastal watch duties.
