Wyndham Meatworks
In 1913, the Western Australian government started to construct the Wyndham Meatworks to restart the town's economy. The construction efforts were interrupted by the Nevanas affair and World War I, but the meatworks were completed in 1919 to a design by William Hardwick who later became the Principal Architect of Western Australia. The Air Beef Scheme which ran from 1947 to 1965 entailed the meatworks to be the mainstay of the town's economy until their closure in 1965.
