    Truganina RAAF WWII Munitions Reserve - Veterans Description for Public

    The former Truganina RAAF WWII Munitions Reserve comprises of a large disused industrial complex bounded by Palmers Road, Boundary Road and Dohertys Road. The main entrance is on the west side of Palmers Road, and consists of a gate house and a cluster of administrative buildings. On the east side of Palmers Road (opposite the gates) are several barracks buildings constructed of corrugated iron. Throughout the reserve are dozens of small buildings, well separated from one another. Most of these are constructed of brick, but there is a group of sheds constructed of timber and corrugated iron located close to the corner of Palmers Road and Dohertys Road. It is possible that there was once a tramway system operating on the site. Throughout the site are a number of stands of planted trees.
    
    Also located on the site are the Army Stables (Dohertys Road), and the ruin known as 'Henry Robinson's house' (Palmers Road) which have been separately recorded.
