Treloar Resource Centre, Military artifacts conservation center in Mitchell, Australia
The Treloar Resource Centre is a conservation facility for military equipment in Mitchell, Australia. It houses aircraft, vehicles, boats, missiles, and artillery pieces from different time periods.
The facility opened in 1994, replacing an earlier warehouse in Duntroon. That previous location had stored Australian War Memorial items starting in the 1950s.
The centre preserves objects that matter to how Australians understand their military past. When visiting, you notice how carefully items are arranged and how much work goes into maintaining these pieces of history.
The centre opens to visitors on special days, particularly during the annual 'Big Things in Store' event. You can then view the collections and learn about how items are kept in good condition.
Specialized labs within the facility work to preserve artifacts spanning more than 150 years of military history. Experts restore items using techniques that respect original condition and safeguard them for future generations.
