By the 1920s water trains were being used to help fight ...The 1919 bushfire was the worst the area suffered. The fire struck on Saturday afternoon on the 15th February. It destroyed the station at Lavers Hill and Crowes, departmental residences at Lavers Hill and Weeaproinah, the overhead bridges at Beech Forest and Wimba, and damaged the track at various points along the line so that two locomotives became temporarily marooned at Beech Forest.. By the following Tuesday a daily fire relief train had begun operation. By the following Sunday a special train loaded with army tents travelled through to Lavers Hill and deposited most of its consignment there because little remained of this sizeable settlement. An outsider would have had difficulty in picking the place. The letters of the Lavers Hill station nameboard had been burnt although the metal letters survived, and one of the local wags had rearranged them to read "LIARS HELL".

The school has existed on the same site since 1878, originally sharing a building with the Methodist church. The current weatherboard building was relocated in 1926 after the closure of Weston school. The school has experienced multiple closures due to low enrolment: from 1902–1922 and 1945–1951. Muskerry East is considered a true "neighborhood school" despite its remote location, with families like the Hicksons, Roulstons, Burkes, and Tuoheys attending for generations. The school serves as the central gathering place for the local farming community, especially for women who rely on school drop-offs and pick-ups for social interaction.It is now the only school remaining in a large area between Heathcote and Elmore, with others having closed. The Directorate of School Education is considering closing the school due to low enrolment (currently 15, projected 16–21), despite community guarantees of future students. Recent policy changes require at least 21 pupils for "non-remote" schools to remain open, putting Muskerry East at risk. The community feels the government has shifted requirements, making it harder for small schools to survive. Parents and community members are actively fighting to keep the school open, emphasizing its importance to local identity and cohesion.There is frustration that bureaucratic decisions may sever long-standing community ties and traditions. Muskerry East School stands as a symbol of rural resilience and community, now threatened by changing educational policies and declining rural populations.Schools searching for a Future.
