[QUOTE="The Green Wanderer, post: 346071, member: 784"] Too right OP, One of the top 5 alluvial fields in Nth Qld overlaps a portion of what was once a ww2 mortar and sea mine testing range. Thankfully its heavy jungle so not a major threat to accidents. On the ranges other side is a former jungle warfare training grounds complete with airstrip. The nearby town was also host to voluntary chemical warfare research during the same period. There are also a number of former staging and infantry barrack sites plus coastal gun emplacements and bunkers hidden in the scrub. Yep plenty of wartime history up here though mostly naval and defensive installations. TGW. [/QUOTE]
