Gallipoli Barracks Open Day
Gallipoli Barracks Open Day marks 125 years of Army service to the nation, offering the community an opportunity to meet serving soldiers and learn more about life in the Army. The event provides a rare chance to speak directly with personnel about their careers, the training they undertake and the meaning of teamwork and camaraderie within the forces.
Visitors can view a range of military vehicles and equipment, including the 40M, HX77, Hawkei, Bushmaster and Boxer, and gain a better understanding of the roles they play. The day also highlights the many support roles within the Army, from health services to intelligence and logistics, showcasing career pathways that many may not realise exist.
This open day offers an informative and engaging insight into the people, equipment and opportunities that form part of Australia’s Army.
