Queens Park Bunker

Although no plans exist for a Queens Park “bunker” in Commonwealth records, a clue to what may have been there exists in Welch’s report. Details include the number of air raid shelters in the city and what type they were (pill box or slit trench). It also states that Townsville possessed a good level of protection for its citizens in case of air attack and that emergency orginisations were well prepared and trained. Lastly it states;

fifty covered trenches were constructed in various parks and along the bus routes which accommodated twenty persons.
