ANZAC Rifle Range

ANZAC Rifle Range is a shooting facility on Malabar Headland offering outdoor courses for multiple disciplines at long distances. The range features shooting positions set up across varying terrain to accommodate distances spanning 300 to 800 meters.

The facility was established in 1855 as Long Bay Rifle Range before being renamed in 1970 to honor soldiers from the World Wars. This change reflected a shift toward recognizing the site's role in military remembrance.

The range has long served organized shooting clubs and remains integral to the local sporting community in this coastal area. Regular competitions and gatherings here connect practitioners of marksmanship traditions across generations.

Access to the facility is typically limited to members with scheduled operating hours throughout the week. Visitors should contact ahead to confirm current access conditions and any requirements for participation.

Memorial Gates at the entrance pay tribute to marksmen who died in the World Wars and the Korean Conflict. These gates serve as a quiet reminder of the sacrifices made by those who frequented this ground.
