Yooroonah Tank Barrier, World War II defense structure in Ebor, Australia.
The Yooroonah Tank Barrier consists of concrete tetrahedra, wooden posts, and a T-shaped tunnel stretching 17 meters beneath the Armidale-Ebor Road.
Built in 1942 by local miners and workers under the Department of Main Roads supervision, this defense system responded to potential Japanese invasion threats.
The construction process brought together federal, state, and local authorities alongside community members during a period of national resource limitations.
Located at coordinates -30.483, 152.282 on Waterfall Way, the site remains accessible for visitors interested in World War II defense structures.
The barrier includes eight concrete tetrahedra and an underground tunnel system with explosive chambers and protective spaces that were never filled with explosives.
