Lithgow Heavy Anti Aircraft Gun Stations and Dummy Station
Lithgow Heavy Anti Aircraft Gun Stations and Dummy Station, Military defense site in Bowenfels, Australia.
The Lithgow Heavy Anti Aircraft Gun Stations contain four concrete gun emplacements with protective walls designed for mounting 3.7-inch artillery weapons.
During World War II, these gun stations protected the Lithgow Small Arms Factory and ammunition depots from potential Japanese air attacks between 1942 and 1944.
The preserved gun stations stand as an educational resource for understanding Australian military defense strategies and industrial protection during wartime conflicts.
Visitors can explore three restored anti-aircraft guns installed at Bowenfels, similar to the original weapons that defended the industrial area.
These gun stations represent the sole inland heavy anti-aircraft defense positions established in New South Wales during the Second World War.
