[QUOTE="Nirvanadirt, post: 591014, member: 20080"] The camp you might be referring to might be mixed up with the shooting range which was a little ways away from the footy oval and perhaps there was a semi permanent camp set up on the Oval itself, however as the story goes Melbourne was the last line of defence if the Japanese were to invade Australia and they set up Cacias of supplies and stationed minor amounts of military investor amounts the further towards Melbourne they got these areas that you read about in Oz at war and basically storage bunkers for if we needed to fall back to the south end of the country being attacked from the north it was cheaper to fill up and forget about any gear that was brought over by the Yanks and I was then it was to get it back to the storage in warehouses and the like. I'd be happy to show anyone who is interested the Merry Creek tunnel which actually Peters down into a fairly tight little tunnel towards the end further up Mary Creek where it has been concreted over there is an entrance to A bunker that has never been excavated and also Mount Evelyn just let me know who's keen and when for.
