Rocky Creek World War Two Hospital Complex, Military medical complex in Tolga, Australia
The 763-acre medical facility contains numerous ward buildings, administrative structures, and staff quarters spread across the Queensland landscape.
Between 1942 and 1945, the Rocky Creek Hospital treated 30,000 patients during World War II, following the Japanese attacks on Darwin and Townsville.
The Entertainment Igloo building from 1943 provided recreational activities and theater performances for patients and staff during wartime operations.

The complex included specialized wards for malaria experiments, psychiatric treatment, and other medical conditions specific to Pacific warfare conditions.
