Tobruk Memorial Baths, Heritage-listed swimming complex in Townsville, Australia.
The Tobruk Memorial Baths features a 50-meter Olympic pool, a 25-meter heated pool, and a toddler pool along The Strand waterfront in Townsville.
Construction of the baths started in 1941 and finished in 1950, named to commemorate Australian servicemen who fought in the Siege of Tobruk during World War II.
A marble plaque at the main entrance pays tribute to fallen military personnel from the Navy, Army, and Air Force who served during the Tobruk siege.
The facility includes changing rooms, an on-site kiosk, and multiple pools suitable for various activities from casual swimming to professional training sessions.
The facade displays blue and white art deco design elements with etched glass panels featuring marine motifs and decorative maritime-themed details.
