Chidlow Army Camps

Australia – as a relatively young nation with preservation in heritage sites still in its growth – has few wartime historical sites remaining to nurture public interest, however, Chidlow has one such site: an army camp erected in March 1943 as a defence against a Japanese invasion.
Designated a Brigade Camp with three battalions, Chidlow’s army camp was constructed to accommodate up to 1,000 troops in some 15 camp areas.
