As part of South Australia's History Festival,
Prospect Local History Group is presenting a tour of the air raid shelter along Willcox Avenue in Prospect. The tour will provide you with the opportunity to visit the shelter's interior and learn more about our civil defence. Efforts were made to prepare people for potential air attacks during World War II.
