Victoria Barracks, Brisbane
Victoria Barracks, Brisbane, Military barracks in Petrie Terrace, Australia
The Victoria Barracks complex spans across Petrie Terrace, featuring colonial military architecture with guard rooms, barracks blocks, and officer quarters dating from 1864.
Initially constructed as Green Hills Barracks, the site housed British troops from the 12th Regiment of Foot until 1870 before becoming the Queensland Defence Force headquarters.
The Army Museum South Queensland within Victoria Barracks exhibits military artifacts and documents from the Boer War through World War II periods.
The military installation remains operational while offering guided tours through its grounds, allowing visitors to examine colonial architectural elements and historical exhibits.
The barracks transformed from a police station between 1870 and 1885 to become the central command point for the 1st Military District of Australia until the 1990s.
