Blackboy Hill, Military memorial in Greenmount, Australia
The Blackboy Hill memorial features a dedicated commemorative site covering half a hectare, with a central monument aligned to capture sunlight on Anzac Day.
Established in 1914, this military training camp prepared over 32,000 Australian Imperial Force recruits for deployment during World War I and World War II.
The Camp Chronicle newsletter recorded daily experiences of soldiers at Blackboy Hill, preserving personal accounts of military life before overseas service.
The memorial site maintains regular opening hours and hosts annual Anzac Day services, with guided tours available through local historical organizations.
Archaeological excavations at Blackboy Hill have uncovered artifacts from the Spanish flu hospital that operated on site during the 1919 pandemic.
