Acacia Ridge Air Raid Shelter, World War II air raid shelter in Acacia Ridge, Australia.
The concrete military shelter sits into the north face of Archerfield Quarry, featuring two main walls and a lower outer curtain wall with rectangular openings.
Between 1942 and 1943, the Allied Works Council constructed this shelter to protect military personnel from Japanese air attacks near Archerfield aerodrome during World War II.
The structure represents Australian wartime defense preparations, demonstrating how Queensland adapted its infrastructure to protect military forces during global conflicts.
Located at 174 Mortimer Road, visitors can access information about this heritage site through the Brisbane City Council and interactive mapping on City Plan.
Archaeological investigations in 1992 recovered World War II artifacts from the quarry, including machine guns, ammunition, and aircraft parts near the shelter structure.
