Abstract

This is a small contribution to the rich and colourful military heritage of Australia. It tells something of the houses that are or have been provided for members of the Australian Defence Force and which are now listed on the Register of the National Estate, by the National Trust, or in other community heritage listings. It is about some grand houses like 'Bridges House' at Duntroon, the home of the Chief of the General Staff, and 'Tresco', the home of the Flag Officer Commanding Navy's Support Command at Elizabeth Bay, Sydney; and it is also about the modest homes of junior ranking servicemen like the 'Gunners' Cottages' in Fremantle and the historic war-ravaged precinct in the RAAF Base at Darwin.
