Newington Armory, Naval heritage complex in Sydney Olympic Park, Australia
The Newington Armory encompasses 52 hectares of riverside grounds containing over 100 buildings from different periods of military construction.
Established in 1897 as a military magazine, the site served the Australian Army before transferring to the Department of Navy in 1921.
The former Royal Australian Naval Armament Depot now functions as a public space where visitors can explore military architecture and naval history.
Visitors can access the site through guided tours, rent bicycles, and use facilities including a café, parking areas, and public restrooms.
The complex features a preserved 2-foot narrow gauge electric railway system that previously transported munitions and now carries tourists.
