Albert Facey Heritage Trail
The heritage trail which is 80 kilometres long, includes the Wickepin Boarding House where Facey stayed in 1912 while working for the Western Australian Water Supply, the Wickepin Hotel, and Archie McCall's Farm where Facey lived before being sent out to Cave Rock to work when he was only eight.
The trail also covers the history of the area looking at Tarling Well, Tarling Hall and the Inkiepinkie School. Most interesting of all are the heritage trail brochure instructions explaining the location of the various farms - the Miekles, the Phillips, the Morans and the Bibbys farm - where Facey worked.
Anyone familiar with the book will find this heritage trail will bring the story to life and is a powerful reminder of the harshness of life on the wheatbelt around the turn of the century.
