Stone wall inside former base
.

This stone wall probably existed long before the land was ever used for storing explosives for the Australian Navy and Australian Army; the area has been off limits to the public for over 70 years so it likely remains relatively untouched. To the left of the image, a set of fence posts lead into a runoff area flooded in the late 1960's in order to protect the Greenvale Reservoir water. Ordnance warehouses are visible on the right. Some or all of this fence is likely to be removed in order to construct the E14 expressway.
