The "largest landholder and possibly the wealthiest" in the area was Charles Wilson from Sunny Park Wareek[2][3] ( Coordinates 36°58′53″S143°36′28″E / 36.9813035°S 143.607879°E / -36.9813035; 143.607879 ). Wilson's daughter Maude Wilson married John Miller in 1901 at Sunny Park and they then lived in the Rathscar district where their four children were born. John and his brother Bill were share farmers.
At the Wareek Hall there is an Honour Roll, of those from the Bung Bong district, who fought in World War I. It contains 19 names, including 5 names of those who did not return.[5]
