The establishment of a communication network in the developing wheatbelt was an important phase of the region's development. It demonstrates a way of life no longer practiced.
The phone exchanges were often located in a farm house. The communication linkage provided the otherwise isolated farmer's wife with a link to the rest of the community. It was usually the farmer's wife who operated the exchanges. CA Bailey operated the exchange from 1961-1967 and LJ Bailey operated it for the remainder of 1967 until the automatic exchange took over.
