RANAD Somerton: Buildings 6 and 7
.

This view down the main warehouse access road shows buildings 6 and 7. The route was originally further south but was changed when many RANAD buildings were demolished in order to build the Greenvale Reservoir, which wraps around the explosive warehouse portion of the depot. Trees planted in the water catchment area in the early 1970's are visible in the distance. Note the earth boundaries around each warehouse, and the sparse placement of buildings.
