    Bonegilla 25 Metre Rifle Range - Physical Description 1

    This is a modest short-range small-bore (.22 inch bore) rifle range located on a rise a bit west of the centre of the northern boundary of West Bonegilla. It has a flat firing mound (now) formed by modern artificial grass matting laid on sand, and facing towards sand target butts about 25 metres to the west. Between the mound and the butts there is an excavated hollow. Behind the target butts there is a relatively modern tall concrete wall faced with plywood to minimise ricochets. The target butts are a simple sand mound, with no provision for mechanical targets nor any protected trench for target markers. Near the firing mound there is a flagpole (for flying a warning flag during rifle practice), and a set of deteriorated in-ground wooden steps leading down to an access track. Army No.0462/227.
