Australia’s largest WWII POW camp, Camp 13 in Murchison, is up for sale — and its future hangs in the balance. Once home to Italian, German, and Japanese prisoners from 1941 to 1947, the site also marks the tragic sinking of the HMAS Sydney and holds a memorial to German sailors from the Kormoran. The son of a former prisoner, Rudolph Pruckner, is urging preservation, recalling his father’s humane treatment and eventual decision to stay in Australia. With interest from descendants and real estate developers eyeing it as a tourist spot, the $650K–$680K listing sparks debate: will the land be saved for history or sold for profit?
