Gona Barracks, Military heritage site in Kelvin Grove, Australia.
The barracks complex spans seven hectares and contains 70 buildings arranged around a central parade ground in upper and lower sections.
Established in the 1910s before World War I, the facility trained compulsory militia forces and later transformed into a Citizens Military Force complex.
The buildings at Gona Barracks showcase the evolution of Commonwealth military architecture from 1914 to 1960, including drill halls and workshops.
The site, located at 3 Gona Parade, houses multiple training facilities, vehicle maintenance areas, and lecture rooms for military education purposes.
The barracks contain intact military structures from World War I, marking the transition from horse-drawn to motorized military operations in Queensland.
