About Australian Inland Mission Hospital Museum
The Australian Inland Mission Hospital Museum is a heritage-listed former hospital in Lake Grace, Western Australia, about 350 km southeast of Perth. Built in 1926 as part of Reverend John Flynn's Australian Inland Mission network, it provided medical services to remote farming communities. Now preserved as a museum, it displays original hospital rooms, medical equipment and photographs documenting outback healthcare and the history of the district.
