There was no spare land around Nunkeri siding for a hall or sporting grounds, but, one mile north of the siding, a reserve of 25 acres had been set aside at McNamara's Bore.
In February 1915 the Nunkeri Progress Association wrote to the Commissioner of Lands requesting land from the bore reserve for a hall - for school and social purposes. Ten acres was granted.
During 1916 the Progress Association approached the Education Department and began considering ways of financing the erection of a hall. The trustees were successful in obtaining a loan (one of the first approved) from the Education Department under a provision introduced allowing the Minister of Education to lend money on mortgage for the erection of a building which would be used for school and other purposes.
Construction began in 1917, of a stone hall 36ft by 24ft, with jarrah floors. Nunkeri school opened on October 7th 1918 with 9 pupils. By 1923 there were 26 pupils on the roll.
The daily ritual of the morning assembly and the checking of hands, shoes, hankies and the saluting of the flag is well remembered by students of Nunkeri.
In the late 1930's the teacher, who lived in Karoonda, on occasions was not well enough to attend school.
The students, after waiting a reasonable time, would walk to the railway siding, where there would usually be an empty "Y" truck to the eastern end of the yard which was slightly more elevated than the western end.
All would clamber on board and rumble off down to the other end of the yard - the oldest boy in charge of the brakes. By midday all would be exhausted. They would eat their lunch and head for home.
Nunkeri school closed in December 1940 ready for the opening of Karoonda Area School in 1941.
The cache is a screw topped black plastic container. It contains a bagged logbook, stashnote, pencil and sharpener and half a dozen swaps.
