Soldier Settlement Plans Outline for Pemberton and Environs
A district report details about 24,000 acres of abandoned farms targeted for re conditioning under the War Service Land Settlement Scheme. It notes 5,000 acres near Pemberton Eastbrook and Quinnimup, 4,000 at Manjimup, and 15,000 at Northcliffe, with 100 acre blocks prepared per farmer and 30 acres specialized for hay.
